...everyone's got something to say with your mouth, even me... A hyperactive, idiosyncratic and deeply personal journey into the mercurial Welsh poet-prophet figure of Taliesin, framed as a magical pilgrimage around Llyn Geirionydd in North Wales, evoking the lake and its waters as the bard's own cauldron from which he continually emerges in different historical, mythical and fictional guises ... sometimes dreams are wiser than the waking... Unfolding layers of meaning from the protohistorical cynfardd of the Old North to the 'radiant brow' of medieval legend, as well as Taliesin's contemporary significance and links with other cultures, this crazed, garrulous exploration runs through the archetypal Celtic poet's hall of mirrors with eccentric wit and blazing energy ... stand behind the cataract unbound, close my eyes: hear me, I speak... Culminating in a wildly subjective, underwater encounter with Taloiastinos and the watis, two timeless and interrelated forerunners of the Taliesin mythos, and a forested fall into the mindset of the visionary poet who experiences no separation between self and other, this book is likely to be one of the most riddling, esoteric and obscure treatments of Taliesin ever released!
