This week's Friday Poem is 'Candlemas' by Hilary Llewellyn-Williams from her new and selected poems The Little Hours.
The Little Hours: New and Selected Poems is a landmark volume which collects key poems from the career of Hilary Llewellyn-Williams, one of the outstanding poets of her generation in Wales. In addition to the classic sequences 'The Tree Calendar' and 'Book of Shadows', the book also includes 'The Little Hours', a sequence of new work arranged according to the traditional monastic hours. Llewellyn-Williams is one of the earliest environmental poets; her response to nature always profound, passionate and keenly observed. The Little Hours will remind readers of her many strengths and beauties and shows new readers the breadth and talent of a writer whose eye for vivid imagery and startling detail has always astounded.
The Little Hours: New and Selected Poems is available on the Seren website: £12.99
