Our Friday Poem this week is ‘Luminosity’ by Rhiannon Hooson, which appears in her collection The Other City, and Poems from the Borders pamphlet.
Rhiannon Hooson is a gifted young poet born in mid-Wales and currently living in the Welsh Marches. The Other City, her debut collection of poems, was shortlisted for the Roland Mathias Prize.
Sharply focused, beautifully resonant, deeply felt, some poems reference and re-make narratives from classical Greek myth, some rework elements of Welsh history, ancient and modern.
‘Luminosity’ contemplates Alfred Watkins’ moment of inspiration in Herefordshire, when he proposed the existence of ley lines.
The Other City is available from the Seren website: £9.99
Poems from the Borders is available from the Seren website: £5.00
