Inhale/Exile

Description

Yn ei chasgliad cyntaf o gerddi Inhale/Exile, mae Abeer Ameer o Gaerdydd yn cyflwyno ei chyndeidiau o Irac i ni, a chawn hanesion megis y portread o’r cyfarwydd ar ben to yn Najaf, dewrder a goroesiad ar hyd y cenedlaethau a’r wraig sy’n coginio i’w chymdogion ar ddiwrnod coffa ei mab.
Cardiff-based poet Abeer Ameer writes of her forebears in her first collection, Inhale/Exile. Dedicated to the ‘holders of these stories’, the book begins with a poem about a storyteller on a rooftop in Najaf, Iraq, follows tales of courage and survival throughout, ending with a woman cooking food for neighbours on the anniversary of her son’s death.
