My Body Can House Two Hearts

Description

As the opening poem reveals, Hanan Issa has a vantage point that enables her to see both near and far. It lets her draw the links between Hen Wlad fy Nhadau and Baghdad, Fallujah and Aberfan. Reading on from these first lines we hear how the Cymraeg and Arabic ‘ch’ chime together, and see how Edwards is Daqneesh’s brother, and how one body can house two hearts.
