A collection of original poems by Welsh poets, all written in response to the 186-mile road. From the seashore to slate quarries, from nuclear power stations and fighter plane flypasts to forests, mountains and the capital city, the poems included here take us on a journey through memory, myth, love, and grief.
The poems, which were submitted by writers in either English or Welsh in reponse to an open call, were chosen on merit and then translated into the other language, meaning that each work in the anthology is side by side with its translation either from, or into, Welsh, intended to celebrate the magnificence of both languages and the artistry of poets and translators.
