About
Reimagine our relationship with the natural world through the Welsh poetic tradition.
At a time of biodiversity loss and climate grief, we need to reset our relationship with the natural world. Cynefin helps us hear the voices of people down the centuries who have, through poetry, expressed a different way of connecting with the living world around us.
Carwyn Graves explores how the Welsh poetic tradition offers a different view of nature and connecting to our place in the world, and demonstrates its power to help us address the challenges we face.
Find fresh perspectives from themes of grief and loss mediated through snow and the cuckoo's song, to ecological sensibilities in medieval poems and the generosity of the water that drives the water wheel.
In a thousand years of poetry we see the natural world portrayed not as a pristine realm but a human home; bittersweet as well as welcoming. Above all Carwyn invites us through these poems, to encounter the living world - in seagulls and sheepflocks, a lake or wheatfield - not in the abstract but in all its sparkling specificity
