To Babel and Back by Robert Minhinnick
Travels from country to country in search of clarity and lucidity in the background noise which can characterise so much of the globalised and West-aspiring world. From America to Iraq, Canada to Argentina via Berlin, Prague, Florence, Vilnius and his native Wales, the author seeks out what valuable and defining in a clutch of cultures.
Robert Minhinnick is one of Wales’ (some would say Britain’s) most eminent writers. He is a multi-prizewinning poet, essayist and novelist; his most recent poetry collection was shortlisted for the TS Eliot Prize in 2017 and won Wales Book of the Year, which he has won three times. Two of his novels have been shortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize. He edited Poetry Wales for ten years. Minhinnick is also an environmentalist and founder of Friends of the Earth Cymru and Sustainable Wales who has written extensively on the environment. He edited Gorwelion: Shared Horizons (2021) a book of essays about climate change.
