A Year of Death and Life in the Tanat Valley

They're finally here! This week I took delivery of the first fifty copies of my new poetry collection, A Year of Death and Life in the Tanat Valley. How exciting!

​They will be available for sale in Dragons Craft Shop in Llanrhaeadr, as well as at various craft stalls, markets and car boot sales that Earth Heart will be adventuring to in coming months. However; in a further flurry of novelty, they're available for sale right now over on the equally newborn Earth Heart shop in case you just can't wait that long or prefer the convenience of delivery! Here's the blurb: 

'I have written about and illustrated the world around me since my childhood in the 1980’s but it was in January 2024 that I moved to Llanhraeadr-Ym-Mochnant, nestled in the Tanat Valley. It was a formative year in more ways than one. This volume of poetry and drawing charts the seasons of that year and follows two key themes of my creative life, being much informed by my environment as well as the events and observations that unfurl in it. There is death. There is life. There is joy. There is grief. There are careful attempts to describe this being human on days of love and at times of sadness. If you have ever set foot in the Tanat Valley or ever spent time musing on the Human Experiment then maybe, just maybe, there will be something here that also speaks to you.'
