Description

Shards of Light is a collection of previously unpublished poems by Emyr Humphreys.

Now in his hundredth year, he has been described as Wales's foremost novelist of his generation.

This newly discovered collection of poems has all the sharpness and incisiveness of thought as if they had been written today.

Humphreys scrutinises life with a wry humour, coloured by the experience of his great longevity and grounded in Wales.

With a sharpness of thought and a sparseness and frugality of expression - a hallmark of his work - the poems contain a profundity which challenges us to think more deeply about the nature of our being.

They fearlessly ask difficult questions of ourselves as to the nature of being within the vastness of creation.

The subjects are as varied as is man's experience, from the vastness of time, space and God's power, to musings on everyday life leading to old age.

Ultimately the reader will find the experience entertaining yet deeply felt, satisfying and rewarding.
