Anima/l

‘Gwnewch y pethau bychain — Do the little things’ (Dewi Sant/St David) — is how Fiona Owen signs off her communications. And she is a poet who understands that the little things are actually the things to which we should be paying our deepest attention — the small interactions between people, the word that matters, the objects that hold more than memory and, vitally, the land we live on, the air we breathe, the anima/ls and plants we live amongst and with, who teach us not to ‘other’ them for the sake of our humanity as much as for their sake and their survival. This is a collection that pulses with anima, the unconscious that moves through all life, bubbling up in these exquisitely realised, attentive poems.
