Rosy Adams explores the many afterlives of myth through the lens of Blodeuwedd. Supernaturally beautiful and condemned to tragedy, Blodeuwedd’s story is masterfully reimagined by Alan Garner, Gwyneth Lewis and Brigid Lowe. Adams traces Blodeuwedd’s resonance from the Mabinogion to the modern day.🌷
Originally published in ISSUE 004: TELLING TALES, you can read ‘A Whistle in the Reeds, a Bird’s Song in your Ear’ online now! 🌾
