163 Days

Description

Bardd sy’n dioddef o salwch difrifol yw Hannah Hodgson, ac yn ei cherddi y mae’n defnyddio’r swreal a’r meddygol i amlinellu gwirioneddau sefydliadol mewn gwrthdaro â’r unigolyn. Mae’r gyfrol hon yn cofnodi union hyd ei arhosiad hiraf mewn ysbyty. Mewn cerddi doniol a gobeithiol, brawychus a theimladwy, dyma olwg anarferol ar farwoldeb ac ar gorff a meddwl fel endidau ar wahân.
Hannah Hodgson is a seriously ill poet, deploying the surreal and the medical to chart institutional truths vs the individual. 163 days is the length of her longest hospitalisation; here we join her. At turns funny and hopeful, frightening and moving, this collection is an unusual look at impending mortality and the body/mind as separate selves.
