‘Carwyn Graves has mustered a surprising ally in the fight against nature degradation. His account of Welsh nature poetry shows what poets have always known: that we are part of nature, not aside from it. His emphasis on the social nature of Welsh poetry is joyful, a much-needed corrective in the age of extractive individualism.’ Gwyneth Lewis

Reimagine our relationship with the natural world through the Welsh poetic tradition At a time of biodiversity loss and climate grief, we need to reset our relationship with the natural world. Cynefin helps us hear the voices of people down the centuries who have, through poetry, expressed a different way of connecting with the living world around us. Carwyn Graves explores how the Welsh poetic tradition offers a different view of nature and connecting to our place in the world, and demonstrates its power to help us address the challenges we face. Find fresh perspectives from themes of grief and loss mediated through snow and the cuckoo’s song, to ecological sensibilities in medieval poems and the generosity of the water that drives the water wheel. In a thousand years of poetry we see the natural world portrayed not as a pristine realm but a human home; bittersweet as well as welcoming. Above all Carwyn invites us through these poems, to encounter the living world - in seagulls and sheepflocks, a lake or wheatfield - not in the abstract but in all its sparkling specificity

Book cover which features a black and white photo of people juggling and unicycling. Text reads: 19 March
What’s it like to run away with the circus? Cardiff, Wales, 1983. A bunch of university dropouts and unemployed hippies find themselves united by two things: a talent for juggling and a desire to live a different kind of life. They decide it might be fun to juggle their way out of the rat race by founding a circus, which they call ‘NoFit State’. How does this group grow from its lowly origins as buskers on the city streets to become one of the most admired and respected contemporary circuses in the world? Stephen Glascoe, a member of NoFit State’s amateur community group ‘Splott State Circus’, takes us behind the scenes of the drama, stress and joy of a radical modern circus. Based on in-depth interviews with the founders of the circus and many others who have been part of its history, Circus Rebels charts the challenges and triumphs of underdogs turned Welsh creative powerhouse.
Out now!
'Circus Rebels: The Inside Story of NoFit State' by Stephen Glascoe is published today!
