Poetry dealing with the 'matter of Wales' and the 'matter' of being Welsh-American, developed through divergent poetics and perspectives; as attuned to degrees of difference as those of connectedness; as attentive to cultural cross-currents as to the 'other land'.

The 'other land' of Wales, Cymru,hen wlad fy nhadau, the mother ship – as perceived by Welsh, American,American-Welsh or Welsh-American poets.
