Book excerpt: Taliesin, Chief Bard of Britain and Celtic shaman, was a historical figure who lived in Wales during the latter half of the sixth century.

The author presents completely new translations of Taliesin's major poems in their entirety, uncovering the meanings behind these great works for the first time.
