About Me


"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must live." - Charles Bukowski
pryd mae dy benblwydd
Pryd mae dy benblwydd, fy mawnog ddi-ddarfod,
Ti sydd â’r glaw a’r haul yn dy fru?
Pan gerddodd y gwynt dros ruddiau Arianrhod
Y’m ganwyd, o’r ddrycin i’r erwau hy.
Pryd mae dy benblwydd, fy mynydd o gaerau,
Ti sy’n gadernid uwch corsydd y ffin?
Pan drodd yr eryrod yn adar gaeafau,
O bair y byd arall dychwelais i’r drin.
Pryd mae dy benblwydd, ddioddefwraig anrheithiau,
Ti sydd â’r waywffon gam yn dy gefn?
Pan wylodd fy ngwaed i Edwy dan lafnau
Y brad, o’r dyfroedd fe’m ganwyd drachefn.
Pryd mae dy benblwydd, f’arwres fawrgan,
Ti roddodd Sele yng ngheubren y gau?
Pan gododd fy llusern dros ael darogan
Fe’m denwyd o’r gwyll i’r bore brau.
Yr wyf yn yr awel a’r rhaeadr melyn,
Y dderwen, yr eog a’r hedydd gwyn;
Y mae fy mhenblwydd bob eiliad o’r flwyddyn;
 phob curiad o’th galon, cofia hyn.
dewi prysor
when were you born
When were you born, my infinite moorland,
You with the rain and the sun in your womb?
I was born when the wind stroked the cheeks of Arianrhod,
To the fearless fields from the eye of the storm.
When were you born, my mountain of citadels,
You with your strength above frontier fens?
When the eagles turned into birds of the winter
I returned from the otherworld to battle again.
When were you born, my victim of murder,
You with your body by crooked spikes torn?
When treacherous blades spilled my blood into Edwy
From its turbulent waters I was reborn.
When were you born, my eulogized heroine,
You who put Sele to hollow tree death?
When my lantern arose over destiny’s summit
I was drawn from the dusk to the morning’s frail breath.
I am in the breeze and the cascading waterfall,
In the oak, in the salmon and in the white lark
My birth is celebrated each day, every second;
Remember this with each beat of your heart.

Cyfarchion, Gonzalez! Jah Iasgwm a reu! Croeso i gip sydyn ar fywyd yr awdur, bardd, cerddor, corddwr, mwydrwr a breuddwydiwr, wiwer-boenwr, llyffant-ffingrwr a chaws-gratiwr cyffredinol, Dewi Prysor (aka Prysor, Y Dyn Sdici, Y Prysgodyn, Jah Iasgwm).
Yep, I'm a football-loving author, bard, druid and songwriter. I am a creator of gritty realism, of dark, anarchic, comic novels 'n' stuff like that... and when I get time, I'll translate the rest of this blurb...
Dwi'n sgwennu comedi tywyll, afreolus a graffig. Nes i drio egluro i'r ferch Susnag sy'n guradur yr Ashmoleam yn Rhydychen be o'n i'n sgwennu. Ar ôl hir-fwydro a gweld mod i'n mynd i nunlla, nes i ofyn os oedd hi wedi darllan gwaith Irvine Welsh. Dyma hi'n deud, "Aaah! Gritty realism?" Wneith hynny'r tro, meddyliais. Ond os da chi isio gwell syniad, darllenwch be ydi fy hoff bethau ar ochor arall y dudalan...
Ar y funud, dwi’n gweithio ar fy nhrydedd nofel, Crawia, sy'n ddilyniant i’r ddwy nofel lwyddiannus Brithyll a Madarch. Dwi’n neud lot o betha eraill hefyd – sgwennu sgriptia, erthygla, barddoniaeth, caneuon, dilyn tim peldroed Cymru, darllan, hanesa, sgota, tynnu llunia, yfad gormod a smocio gormod, hefru, chwerthin, caru’r wraig a’r plant, a dwi’n canu a chwara (loose definition!) gitar i Vates. Dwi hefyd yn un hannar o’r Prics. Dwi hefyd yn trefnu Gwyl Car Gwyllt yn Bleuna, efo criw o ffrindia a cherddorion lleol, ers deng mlynadd a mwy, ond dwi’n cymryd brec tan flwyddyn nesa, achos dwi’n rhy brysur, ac yn gorfod blaenoriaethu (gair mawr, ond da), achos ma’r ty cownsil wedi mynd yn rhy fach i deulu o bump, a dwi am drio gneud digon o waith i brynu ty. Sy’n anodd uffernol dyddia yma, fel ma pawb yn gwbod…
Dwi fewn i lager, jack daniels, tequila, gwair, madarch, punk, dub, ska, peldroed, derwyddiaeth, rhyddid, Sopranos, Mighty Boosh, Trailer Park Boys, Monty Python, The Comic Strip Presents, Spageti Westyrns, ffilmia Gangstars, comedis tywyll, Charles Bukowski, Hunter S Thompson, Irvine Welsh, John King, Twm Miall, Niall Griffiths, T Rowland Hughes, Caradog Prichard, Islwyn Ffowc Elis, Roddy Doyle, Iolo Morganwg, RS Thomas, Waldo, R Williams Parry, TH Parry Williams, Hedd Wyn, Jac Glan y Gors, David R Edwards, Taliesin, Aneurin, Geraint Jarman, Bob Delyn a'r Ebillion, Anhrefn, Jecsyn Ffeif, Christy Moore, Peatbig Faeries, Gai Toms (Christy Moore Cymru), Sergio Leone, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, James Cameron, Ridley Scott, David Chase, David Cronenberg, Roberto Duran, Muhammad Ali, Eddie Izzard, Stephen Fry, Y Ring, Tap, Meirion, White, a miloedd o bobl a phetha eraill.
Fuas i’n codi walia am flynyddoedd, ond erbyn rwan, yr unig gerrig dwi’n ffidlan efo ydi’n rhei fi fy hun. Dwi ddim yn jogio, garddio na darllan y ffycin Sun. Dwi ddim yn cyfri’n hun yn Brydeiniwr, ond dwi yn cyfri’n hun yn Frython. Dwi’m yn trystio bobol efo fake tan, na bobol sy’n croesgribo blew ochra’u penna dros eu patsh moel. Dwi ddim yn licio ffwndamentalaeth o unrhyw ffycin fath - mae trio dal pen rheswm efo crefyddwyr fel siarad efo plentyn sy’n beio pob dim drwg mae o'n neud ar yr imaginary friend wrth ei ochor. Dwi ddim yn dallt shower gel, sut mae nhw’n pausio live TV, a sut i agor tun o sardîns heb i’r caead sblatro sos dros bob man.
“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart” - Nelson Mandela
“Will we let ourselves be destroyed in our turn without a struggle, give up our homes, our country bequeathed to us by the Great Spirit, the graves of our dead and everything that is dear and sacred to us? I know you will cry with me, ‘NEVER! NEVER!'” - Tecumseh
“We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.” - Charles Bukowski
HIR OES I'R HEN GOES GANOL!
