Note on Ayfa's Song


The original version of this poem was written when I was working on GURPS Celtic Myth. In one sense it's the earliest thing of mine on here, though it was extensively changed on a couple of occasions.

Ayfa is correctly spelt Aoife in Gaelic. Her story is found in the Remscela to the Tain, or there's a prose retelling of mine in GURPS Celtic Myth.


Jo Walton, Summer 1997, Swansea.
