Synopsis

The city of Swansea and its surroundings have a literary heritage that spans six centuries, with both native and visiting writers finding inspiration in the ugly, lovely Welsh town. This anthology, first published in 1996, features the fiction, nonfiction, and poetry of many of these luminaries, from the revered Dylan Thomas, Leslie Norris, and Kingsley Amis to contemporary figures such as Robert Minhinnick, Martin Amis, Kathryn Gray, and Jo Mazelis. The oldest works date from the 14th century, and the collection includes several translations from the Welsh. For this revised edition of the book, a dozen new authors have been added, including American William Greenway.
