Hotel Gwales
Hotel Gwales is the eagerly anticipated new collection from award winning poet Nigel Jenkins. It is as diverse as it is rousing, featuring some eighty poems varying in length from a three-line Haiku to an extended meditation of nearly 400 lines. Welsh themes and references, ancient and modern, are interspersed with works of an undeniably international flavour to bring together this exceptional collection. From a poem commerating the execution of a man known as the Welsh 'Braveheart' to an elegy for a Welsh bus driver, Hotel Gwales truly has something for everyone. Hotel Gwales offers Nigel Jenkins's distinctive voice at its best in his first collection of poetry in almost four years. Nigel is well known both in Wales and internationally and is a frequent performer of his work. He has previously undertaken reading tours of countries including the USA and Switzerland. His trademark experimentation with form and ability to engage with his subject is at its finest.
