Lost Head in Cors Caron (Y Lolfa, 2007)
Living in the same house as the famous teacher and classisist Edward Richard (1714-1777), Glyn tells stories about the old house in Ystrad Meurig and about characters that have contributed so much to Ceredigion and Wales. This book is a miscellany of poems and articles written during the past twenty years. The spectrum ranges from the factual through the imaginative, perceptive and thought-provoking pieces to the graphically disturbing.
