Drawing together all of the work from a remarkable Welsh poet, this collection celebrates John Ormond. Typically unsentimental and meticulously crafted, these poems--many of them elegiac--probe Ormond's Welsh roots, explore problematical areas of feeling, and center on particular aspects of the natural world. Including some previously unpublished material, this compilation also features commentary on the poet's writing, shedding light on the author's allusions, meanings, and inspirations.
