Talk of the Town

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Dyma'r bardd arobryn Jonathan Edwards yn cyflwyno ei gasgliad mwyaf uchelgeisiol hyd yma. Yn gyffrous, yn gerddorol, yn ddoniol ac yn llawn egni gan iaith y strydoedd, mae'r cerddi hyn yn llythyrau cariad at y lleoedd a'r amseroedd a'u gwnaeth; at ryfeddod bob dydd De Cymru a'r cymeriadau agored eu breichiau sy'n camu oddi ar y tudalennau hyn, gan gynnig eu bywydau bythgofiadwy.

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

In Talk of the Town, award-winning poet Jonathan Edwards delivers his most ambitious collection yet. Moving, musical, funny and energised by the language of the streets, these poems are love letters to the places and times which made them; to the everyday wonder of South Wales and the open-armed characters who step from these pages, offering their unforgettable lives.
