The natural world is so often the inspiration for art, music, and poetry. ‘The Rising of the Lark’ was collected in the 1870s by Welsh poet and musicologist John Ceiriog Hughes.

Waterfalls are ethereal places and have long been significant in #folklore. They are often the places where people pause for rest on long walks and are spaces of quiet contemplation.

In this extraordinary memoir, Gwyneth Lewis recounts her toxic upbringing at the hands of her controlling, coercive mother. 'Nightshade Mother' is a book about the power of art, language and, ultimately, about homecoming after a lifetime of exile from herself.

When crossing Hafren, the River Severn, most people are struck by the impressive bridge which stretches across it.

But what lies beneath? And what significance did this long river that stretches deep into Wales and England have for the people who crossed it long before any bridges were ever built?
