In the Telling /Gail Ashton and Susan Richardson (eds)

A dazzling anthology of narrative poems, each a jewel, strung together with skill.

Rich, lyrical and diverse. In the Telling is a treasury of myth, story and meaning.

In the Telling celebrates the art of storytelling—whether the making of myth or the stories we tell ourselves to bring narrative and shape to the lives we leave. These fine narrative pieces in lyric form showcase the poetic talents of some of the most interesting emerging poets from Wales, the UK and the world. Woven together by skilled editors, both experienced poets, this array of stories become a poetic journey of meaning found in the telling.
