Departure Lounge

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Casgliad o farddoniaeth gonest a deallus John Barnie sy'n dychwelyd at thema marwoldeb, gan drafod nid yn unig y modd y deliwn â marwolaeth ond hefyd yr ymdeimlad o frys wrth ddioddef colled, boed ddiwylliannol neu ecolegol.

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

Departure Lounge returns to the theme of mortality with characteristic insight and honesty. Concerned not only with how we characterise and cope with death, but with a sense of urgency for all that is being lost, culturally or ecologically, this is a deeply intelligent collection.
