Penned by talented Merthyr poet Ashley O'Keefe and including local photography and artwork. This is South Wales's beating heart... Merthyr Tydfil... nestled below the two river valleys of Vaynor where the river Taff flows; a wonderful book with something for everyone! The pounding of huge hammers, giant blast furnaces, The Merthyr Rising is vividly brought to life within these pages... Grime and dust coats all as black gold is extracted from Earth's bowels by the blood and sweat of men. ... but then, we take a breath as we walk amongst green hills and along worn pathways, dip our toes into the blue pool, taking in a wealth of scenery. There is time for quiet reflection, gazing across the reservoir's still waters as a steam locomotive gently huffs by... ... Relive memories of some local characters and famous boxing legends... This is 'Evocative poetry encapsulating the history and spirit of Merthyr Tydfil.'
