Description

In the dramatic works Astrakhan (Winter), the fourth world and Manifest Destiny, Dic Edwards creates narratives from a troubled imagination which confront our comfortable, often complacent domesticity with a torn world whose conflicts we do much to fuel - from the fragile post -Soviet Russian Republics of the Caucasus, to Colombia, to the 'War on Terror' - before returning in the poems to that landscape of the metaphysic he shares with the great Thomas poets, Dylan and R S: Wales.
