Yn Llefaru Eto

Inside the image.

The square cover shows a shallow, pale cream surface filling the lower half of the image, with many small folded-paper boats arranged across it. The boats are made from printed pages: fragments of dark text and occasional coloured imagery remain visible on their folded sides. They vary in size and distance, creating a loose flotilla that recedes from the large boats near the bottom edge towards a closely packed line of smaller sails in the middle distance. A prominent grey-and-white boat sits just below centre; a narrow boat with a dark hull is slightly right of centre, and several larger, partly cropped forms occupy the lower left and right foreground. The pointed sails make an irregular rhythm of triangles, some crisp and upright, others tilted or partly hidden behind their neighbours.

The pale surface rises gently towards the back and meets a deep, muted green-grey background across the upper portion. The background is softly mottled, darker at the edges and lighter around the centre-left, without a visible horizon beyond the boundary with the paper. Soft, subdued light brings out the folds and printed fragments, while faint shadows beneath the boats give them a sense of contact with the surface. The restrained palette of cream, grey, brown and green is punctuated by occasional faded blue and ochre on the paper sails.

Across the upper area, the title is arranged in two contrasting treatments. At upper left, “YN LLEFARU ETO” appears in small, widely spaced white capitals on one line. Behind and to its right, much larger pale grey lettering reads “Lleisiau / Beirdd / Cymru” on three stacked lines; its uneven, slightly worn-looking serif forms overlap the dark background and sit partly behind the smaller title. The words are close together, and the first large line begins near the top centre. The image is a softly lit photograph, with no visible border.
