Description

The second volume gathers a vibrant series of verses that echo the heartbeats of the Welsh hills and valleys. Mynyddog’s voice moves from tender recollections of childhood wanderings among spring blossoms to bold celebrations of a nation’s language and landscape. Each poem feels like a song, simple yet resonant, inviting listeners to hear the wind over the mountains and the echo of community gatherings.

Among the pieces are vivid portraits such as “Pen y Mynydd,” where the speaker calls listeners to the mountain’s “new‑clothed” peaks, and “Hen Gapel Llanbrynmair,” a gentle meditation on memory and loss. The collection also stirs patriotic fervour with marching verses that recall historic heroes and the longing for freedom. Listeners will find a blend of youthful optimism, rustic charm, and a deep, unhurried love for Wales that lingers long after the final line.
