From the Back Cover This is the first anthology of poems about St Melangell and the mysterious legend of the hunted hare, a girl praying among thorns and a prince confronted with sudden spiritual awareness. The restoration of her church and shrine in Wales in the early 1990's created a wholly unexpected fusion of poetic ideas As she had done hundreds of years, St Melangell seemd to draw together old enemies and rivals and hold them in suspension: Christian and pagan, saint and sinner, hunter and ecologist. many of the leading poets of Wales found themselves caught up in this event, and some of the results are printed here.
