To Babel And Back

Author: Robert Minhinnick


This notebook features partly documentary and partly fictive adventures of the author across Europe, North America and Argentina. In Florence the author follows the traces of Dante and Dylan Thomas in Berlin and seeks a poem gifted to him by a murdered student.
The world around is usual but also quaint stuffed with noise of modern society and abundant with silent and sober instants and places. Even when Minhinnick “returns” to his native Wales it seems as wonderful as Babylon which might be a myth or a terrifying reality.

Robert Minhinnick (born 1952) is a Welsh poet, essayist, novelist and translator.
