Bardsey
For Christine Evans, the lure of island life is indisputable. Since her first visit to Bardsey, over forty years ago, she has spent every summer on the island, amassing a remarkable knowledge of its history, its people, its wildlife and its weather. She knows the realities of the community life, and is ideally placed to challenge the romantic image of a remote, abandoned place which is sometimes offered by other media. Hers are real stories, which she chooses to share here in evocative prose, as well as a fine selection of island poems.
The writer’s words are complemented by the stunning photographs of Wolf Marloh. With imagination and wit, he offers a visual interpretation of the same three themes as the poet herself – at first sight; living on the island; and horizons. Together they present a magnificent celebration of Ynys Enlli, the island that is Bardsey.
