On the Banks of the Cynon

A powerful collection of poems revolving round the mining communities of the South Wales valleys, focusing on two pits in particular: Cwm-Cynon Pit (Cynon Pit) which, in 1950, was one of the first pits to close after over a century of production; and the Senghenydd Pit, in 1913 the scene of a terrible explosion in which over four hundred men and boys died, after which it never re-opened.
