Summary

A thoughtful and lyrical first collection, inspired by personal history and stories from classical mythology, it uses gorgeous detail to bring poems to life. The poems have lively narratives, pulling one into a story about Zeus, or a lover's infatuation with hair, or a cat tracking finches. Poems also reflect on her childhood on a farm in Wales.

The Other City by Rhiannon Hooson

Seren presents the debut collection from Rhiannon Hooson, a young poet based in the Welsh Marches. The Other City offers us elegant, artful verse of precision and insight. This is a poet that can re-imagine scenes from Greek myth, from Welsh history, and make them as urgent and compelling as her poems about personal relationships.
Dr Rhiannon Hooson is a Welsh poet and author. She has won major awards for her work, including an Eric Gregory Award from the Society of Authors, and her first book, ‘The Other City’, was shortlisted for Wales Book of the Year. The judges described ‘The Other City’ as "Stunning... at a pitch of achievement many of us won’t reach across a career." She has performed at literature festivals across the UK, and her work has been featured in the Guardian, Magma, and Poetry Wales among others. In the last few years, she has been a Literature Wales bursary recipient, a Hay Festival Writer at Work, poetry editor of Creative Countryside magazine, and the judge of the PENfro festival poetry competition.
