Raptures and Captures

Description

Casgliad o gerddi sy’n gydymaith i Muses and Bruises a Ruses and Fuses, sef testun a ysbrydolwyd gan ddiwinyddiaeth rhyddhad a pherthnasedd parhaus bywydau’r seintiau i wleidyddiaeth radicalaidd, rhyddhaol. Ailddychmygir y seintiau fel ymgyrchwyr cyfoes, ac mae dioddefaint, trawma a loes ysbrydol, ynghyd â lludded ac iselder y dosbarth gweithiol yn themâu parhaus yn y cerddi.
This collection follows on from Muses and Bruises and Ruses and Fuses, and is inspired by liberation theology and the continuing relevance of the lives of the saints to a radical, liberating politics. The saints are re-imagined as modern-day activists. Suffering, trauma and spiritual anguish and the exhaustion and depression of working people are continuous themes of her poems.
