1Poetry. The poems in THE HOUSES ALONG THE WALL create a fictional history for sixteen of the houses along the Parrog near Newport, Pembrokeshire. From a man who quits drinking to marry his love, the life of ferryman Jack Price, Belgian immigrants, the disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh and Ondara House to a poem about a final resting place outside St Mary's Church, Newport. Together these poems celebrate a disappearing Welsh community through wonderful atmospheric poems which paint an authentic picture of life and scenery along the Parrog coastline. Two of the poems, "In His Cups" and "The Last House on the River," were set to music and performed by Roddy Williams at the Wigmore Hall for its At Lunch season in 2014, broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.
