These are the poems of ordinary folk—blacksmiths, farmers, and preachers—and they played a vital role in the creation of the Welsh people. Ranging from the visionary intensity of Ann Griffiths to the striking biblical imagery of Wales’s unofficial national anthem “Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer,” in every hymn a single, singular voice sings out, loud and strong with fear, hope, ecstasy, or anxiety.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e With original illustrations by Ruth Jên Evans throughout, this collection offers insights into the making of a modern nation and demonstrates the transformative power of voices raised in song.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57394866848126,"sku":"NW9781837600113","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781837600113.jpg?v=1778633022","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/poems-from-the-soul","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
