Anima/l by Fiona Owen

`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.
