Attempting a sideways glance at the cultural activity bubbling under the surface, this book features five very different artists whose vital, off-center work benefits from being produced away from the pressure of the dominant metropolitan culture. This variety gives a sense of the rich fluctuations, the oddity, and the creativity that exist at every level of a Welsh culture in the midst of change. The artists, the writers and editor have collaborated to produce a "performance on paper," and they include Eddie Ladd, Sarah Broughton, Megan Lloyd, Maria Donovan, Daniel Morden, Jeff Teare, Peter Bodenham, Neale Howells, and Rachel Trezise
