Publisher's Synopsis
Red Head / A Reparation for Cruelty: Poems of the Unknown Soldier travels north along the Irish Sea off Bangor and Anglesey in two successive winter and summer explorations of every stone site of the mythical graves of warriors who fell in the four ancient books of Wales. Composed from the shores of Snowdonia to Stonehenge, Glastonbury and the Tor, where old poems were cultivating an agriculture of the praises of Jesus amid the resignation of the fallen of the agony of war, the love of woman and the worship of God, the geography of suffering in battlefields on land and sea from Aberystwyth to Caernovonshire, amid stone ruins, eisteddfods of streams and lakes, of sagas and eddas, bridge old and new.
