Book of the month
Rhwng Nos a Gwawrio: Cerddi i Bobl Ifanc (Between Night and Dawn: Poems for Young People)
Words form poems and songs in this collection.
Most are short and concise – but offer the opportunity to extend to wider areas.
There are a variety of themes that are relevant to the development of our young people here – from people’s relationships with each other to world conflicts; from the future of the habitat to portraits from Welsh history.
A few words that may be unfamiliar are explained in the margins of the pages. Under almost every poem, there is an introduction by the poet.
In a world rife with hatred and suffering, the central theme is compassion.
“While visiting a number of schools over the years, I have seen how poetry can ignite the imagination of children and young people, and open doors for them to see the world through different lenses. I hope that this book will open their horizons”
– Myrddin ap Dafydd
