In 2008 a suitcase containing a bundle of papers were discovered in a Welsh barn left there by Harry sometime before his death.

The results were curated by Dave Tomlin and published as 'Fragments of a Lost Voice'.

    As fell upon my ear
    The voice a blind man dreams
    And broke on me the smile
    I dreamed as deaf men hear,
