Ten Years A Bard: Poetry from the Current Middle Ages
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 34,130. Language: English. Published: June 1, 2022 . Categories: Poetry » Medieval
Most of these poems are written in medieval fixed forms – one of my on-going quests being a search for ways of reproducing the sound and feel of medieval Welsh poetry in modern English. And yet, because the bardic art I practice is a performance art, these are in a larger sense not my poems at all, but merely pale imitations – poems preserved on paper. I hope you will enjoy the substitutes!

The poems in this little book were primarily intended for use in Neopagan Druidic rituals, but there's no reason others shouldn't enjoy them, and perhaps find them pertinent to their own spirituality.
