Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description
Mae casgliad diweddaraf o gerddi Matthew Francis yn dathlu cyfoeth natur ac ymateb dyn iddo, yn bleserau haf ac yn ddirgelion y nos.
Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description
Matthew Francis's latest collection celebrates the richness of nature and of our responses to it. The pleasures of summer are emblazoned in the colourful wings and evocative names of butterflies, while a nocturnal encounter with an earwig becomes a joyous incantation to the 'witchy-beetle, forkin-robin' of dialect.

Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography
Matthew Francis is the author of five Faber collections, most recently The Mabinogi (2017). He has twice been shortlisted for the Forward Prize, and in 2004 was chosen as one of the Next Generation poets. He lives in West Wales and is Professor in Creative Writing at Aberystwyth University.
Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
His love of history, embodied in his acclaimed Mandeville and The Mabinogi, gives rise to a sequence based on Robert Hooke's microscopic observations. There are tributes to the poets Basho, Dafydd ap Gwilym and W. S. Graham, to fireworks, apple varieties, and hot toddies. And, in a moving elegy for a friend killed in a parachute accident, Francis shows us a vertiginous vision of a world where even the dead 'sleep on the wing'.
