"In these sharply-worked, elegant poems, Gareth Writer-Davies takes the reader on a voyage of mid Wales which invites us to see this landscape in a vivid light. Along sheep paths and riverways, up mountains and through churchyards, the body attempts to 'catch what the water is saying'.
An engaging iconoclasm ripples through the rivers and lakes of these poems - this watery, hilled place often offers up darkly funny conciliations for those who explore.
Poems have a quiet insistence on being present in this place of water and ruins which resolutely reminds human beings of our transitory position and of nature's deep presence. Watched by sheep and owls, wagtails and otters, kites and trout and the effigies of long-dead knights, we roam and return in this rich world. Though we find we're 'no good shepherd' for this place, we keep walking, keep listening, and there is so much that we can learn."
