A wonderful anthology of bilingual poetry about the A470 of course…
If you’re not yet familiar with the A470, it’s the main 186 mile route which connects North and South Wales, meandering through mountains and valleys, past lakes and rivers and many other stunning views. It’s sometimes a breeze of a drive and sometimes incredibly infuriating. A road where the need for public conveniences, or even a hot decent coffee can leave you running out of swear words.
If you live in Wales or only visit occasionally, the A470 becomes part of your memory bank - everyone has a story to tell. Which is what inspired author Sian Northey to reach and ask people to write in Welsh and English about their experiences.
Since it’s release in March, the book has been reprinted twice and continues to prove to be very popular.
Here is a very recent article in the Guardian about the publication -
