Synopsis
Ruth Bidgood s writing has always shown how different is real / from ordinary . In these poems she casts her celebrated gaze over the lie of the Welsh land, local and family history, but also over the less traditional prompts of dream and scientific speculation. At 90 years of age, the voice here remains effortlessly precise, yet still with further discoveries to be made.
Above the Forests marks Ruth s 90th birthday.
These are daring poems... Above the Forest combines deep feeling with keen intelligence. - Anne Cluysenaar
