'A Map of Love - Twelve Welsh Poems of Romance, Desire and Devotion' by M. Wynn Thomas

A fascinating look at the age-old subject of love, the many ways we love and are loved.   Featuring twelve pieces dating from the 14th century to the present, this short but powerful collection of Welsh love poems will appeal to anyone interested in people and their complex relationships, with bawdy verses of passion and desire, and gentle reflections on motherhood and marriage.  The book also features anonymous and lesser-known writers as well as household names, and includes a previously unpublished poem by Emyr Humphreys.  The author M. Wynn Thomas is Professor of English at Swansea University.  With original illustrations by Ruth Jên Evans.
