Description

Mae iaith egnïol sipsiwn a theithwyr dechrau’r 20fed ganrif yn bywiogi’r gyfres wreiddiol hon o gerddi gan Sarah Wimbush. Dyma gyfrol sy’n plethu ynghyd straeon a glywodd y bardd yn ystod ei phlentyndod, gan greu dilyniant o gerddi yn portreadu cymeriadau cofiadwy sy’n ffynnu mewn amgylchiadau enbyd.
The vigorous argot of Gypsy/Traveller folk from the early 20th century enlivens this inventive, original set of poems from Sarah Wimbush, Bloodlines, that has won the Mslexia Pamphlet prize. By piecing together stories overheard since childhood, the author has built a sequence packed with memorable characters who thrive in precarious circumstances.
