First Rain in Paradise

Description

Llyfr am gwympo yw First Rain in Paradise. Mae cerddi hynod ddyfeisgar Gwyneth Lewis yn olrhain y meddwl mewnol a gerfiwyd gan drawma cam-drin emosiynol yn ystod plentyndod trwy’r salwch cronig a ddaw ar ôl hynny a thuag at atgyfodiad hirymaros. Mae’r hanesion o fyw mewn tywyllwch a dod mas o’r tywyllwch hwnnw wedyn yn mynd ben-ben ag angel iaith.
First Rain in Paradise is a book about falling. Gwyneth Lewis’s highly inventive poems trace an interior landscape carved out by the trauma of childhood emotional abuse through subsequent chronic ill health and towards a hard-won resurrection. These accounts of living in and emerging from the dark wrestle with the angel of language.
