Book excerpt: • Emyr Humphreys is arguably Wales’s most distinguished living writer. • Hidden amongst the detritus gathered during the creative process these poems were not intended to be read generally but were private thoughts distilled into the shard like fragments described in the title. • The poems show the depth and variety of his thinking, with a cutting insight into the nature of being and its universal significance, insignificance or relevance. • The poems contain a profundity which challenge us to think more deeply about the nature of our being.
