Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

‘Patrick Jones’ poems show us the power of a heart clawed open, bloody with anger, despair, grief and love.’ – Jude Rogers ‘Patrick’s poems have the power to shake us from the numbness imposed by a media landscape saturated with distraction and indifference. They unmask hypocrisy and violence, and reclaim our humanity that this capitalist economy – with its imperial and genocidal implications – works relentlessly to suppress.’ – Clara Mattei ‘Patrick harbours both love and rage in these words but also manifest within is a beautiful hope and reminder of our shared humanity.’ – Martyn Joseph ‘A serious and engaged artist reaching a high point in a long career’ – Lewis Davies After a very difficult few years of loss, grief, toxic relationships, major surgery and world desolation, every day Patrick is grateful if words arrive and grateful for those who read them. In part two, ‘Hold This Dust’, he addresses our wellbeing and environment, asking how we can live in a world that allows such huge atrocities to happen? And how can we be kind to each other... and to ourselves? Using poetry as a tool for navigating the sometimes crushing world we are living in, Patrick explores sea swimming, breathwork, meditation, yoga, walking and gratitude practices in his own psychological journey through loss and grief to survival/thrival.
