The two extended poem sequences by David Annwn in King Saturn’s Book establish Saturn as a
cipher for local, historical and economic tensions, mapping planetary infuence
and personal identity. The accompanying
drawings track a separate course across the texts.
“Peterjon Skelt’s drawings … which hinge in specific lines
and develop parallel to the poems - are superb.
Studied in progression, the subject matter becomes increasingly sub, or
anti, human, symbolizing the threat of the unknown, the cruel destiny which is
totally beyond the control of man.” THE ANGLO WELSH REVIEW
