2. Skirrid Hill
A spare, elegiac collection of poems that shifts between intimate domestic moments and the wider Welsh landscape to examine memory, loss and the lingering effects of war on family life. Using clear, tightly controlled language and vivid imagery, the poems probe a fraught father–son relationship, the weight of inherited trauma and the ways myth, place and ordinary gestures shape identity, producing quiet, unsettling meditations on grief, masculinity and the possibility of reconciliation.
