Oo Stole Ower Town

Oo Stole Ower Town

This is a poem from my latest collection of dialect poems ‘Igh Sheriff o Merthyr’( Carreg Gwalch). The film is made by Steve Jones, who I’ve collaborated with a number of times, our last one being ‘Breakin-a Box’, a translation into dialect of a poem by the Swedish poet Lou Ice.
