"...the once-in-a-lifetime opening of truth's flower..." #rsthomas #Dewithon23 #readingwales23
March is quite the month of reading events, and I’ve been happy to be able to take part in the Reading Ireland event. However, this month is also a time to look at literature from Wales with Paula’s #Dewithon23 and I’ve been happy to take part in this in previous years, with books by Saunders Lewis and R.S. Thomas. This year I’ve found myself running out of time a little, and with nothing obvious…

On her website, Gillian Clarke says: “All you need to know about this poem is that it is a true story. It happened in the ’70s, and it took me years to find a way to write the poem.”

which is the bliss of…

I hope those celebrating Easter have a marvellous time – whether you are off to church, awaiting the arrival of the Easter Bunny or gorging on chocolate eggs. In any event, I wish you a myriad of blissful hours with your nose buried in a good book.
