‘Between now and then, I will offer youA fist full of rock cress fresh from the bankThe valley tips of garlic red with dewCooler than shallots, a breath you can swankIn the village when you come. At noon-dayI will offer you a choice bowl of cawlServed with a ‘lover’s’ spoon and a chopped sprayOf leeks or savori fach, not used now,In the old way you’ll understand. The dinOf children singing through the eyelet shedsRinging smith hoops, chasing the butt of hens’Lynette Roberts is one of the most astonishing and brilliant poets of the twentieth century. Though published by T.S. Eliot and Faber in the 1940s and ’50s her work unjustly fell off the radar for many years until the groundbreaking edition of her collected poems published by Carcanet in 2005. Twenty years on, this new edition contains an additional sixty-five previously uncollected and unpublished poems by Roberts, and a new epilogue highlighting her growing importance to our understanding of twentieth-century poetry.

Keidrych Rhys (1915-87) was one of Wales's most influential writers in the 1940s and 50s: the result of his own poetry, his editorship of Wales magazine and his notorious attacks on the Bloomsbury Set. His circle of literary friends included Dylan Thomas, Glyn Jones, Vernon Watkins, Emyr Humphreys, Alun Lewis and R.S. Thomas; he was married, sometimes tempestuously, to the poet Lynette Roberts. This book brings together Rhys's only poetry collection, The Van Pool (Faber, 1942), and a variety of unpublished poems. To this Mundye adds selected prose writings, including the Forewords to Rhys' influential Faber anthologies Poems from the Forces (1941) and Modern Welsh Poetry (1944), plus editorials from Wales and other articles, and radio scripts. A comprehensive Introduction provides biographical and critical context to a writer whose taste for controversy (and alcohol) ultimately undermined his poetic career. "One of the most remarkable figures in the Welsh literary world before and after the Second World War."Patrick Hannan, BBC Charles Mundye is a Lecturer in English at the University of Hull.
