'Water is so ubiquitous in our landscape and our legends, in our weather and our words, that there is a danger that we fail to appreciate something which is so essential, so inevitable, so vital.' So says Grahame Davies in his introduction to Alchemy of Water, a book which delights in the transformational and magical quality of an element which is abundant in Wales. This alchemy is observed and fixed by the breathtaking landscape photography of Mari Owen and Carl Ryan, and is crystallized further by the jewel-like poems of Tony Curtis and Grahame Davies.
