No two rivers are the same. From the least bog-trickle to the two-hundred-mile embrace of Hafren/Severn, each has its own voice, often many voices, each specific to the place it flows through and reflects. This is the insight that makes for such a rich and varied anthology. More than just a showcase for the range and reach of Welsh writing in two equal languages, this is a water-map that catches the whole of Wales, its history and landscapes, its diversity and fine connections, in its glittering net.

Peth gwerthfawr a chalonogol yw gweld bod nentydd ac afonydd Cymru’n rhedeg trwy ddychymyg a meddyliau ein beirdd. Ma’er gyfrol hon yn rhodd pwysig i bawb sy’n poeni am lendid ac iechyd ein dyfroedd dwyieithog.
