Real Cardiff 3 by Peter Finch
The first volume: Cardiffian Peter Finch discovers the real Cardiff: lost rivers, Roman forts, holy wells, Arthurian knights, itinerant poets, the old race course, the revitalised city centre, the redeveloped Cardiff Bay - 'Europe's most exciting waterfront' - as he travels the city from east to west and north to south. This is offbeat topographical writing, peppered with Finch's poems, which will enthrall the native, the visitor and the armchair traveller. Peter Finch is a poet who has been at the centre of Cardiff's literary life for thirty years. Formerly the manager of the Oriel Bookshop, he is now Director of Academi, the writer's organisation for Wales. In horse racing parlance it's odds on that this book will be just as popular as the first two which went into reprints.
Peter Finch is a full-time poet, critic, author and literary entrepreneur living in Cardiff, Wales. Until June 2011 he was Chief Executive of Literature Wales (formerly Academi), the Welsh National Literature Development Agency. As a writer he works in both traditional and experimental forms. He is best known for his declamatory poetry readings, his creative work based on his native city of Cardiff, his editing of Seren's Real series, and his knowledge of the UK poetry publishing scene.
