Description:

Guernen Sang Again: Pryderi’s Pigs and other poems: A Second Collection of Poems from the Current – and Past – Middle Ages. Almost all of the poems in this book are, in one way or another, SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) poems – either poems written for or about people in the SCA Kingdom of the Outlands, or poems about persons or events in the SCA historical period (approximately 600-1600 AD). Most of these poems are written in medieval forms, or approximations of medieval 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. Until I can come and sing the real poems to you, I hope you will enjoy the substitutes. G R Grove (known in the SCA as Guernen Cimarguid)
