Poetry and Other Works

In addition to Un Nos Ola Leuad, he also wrote a number of short stories, Y Genod yn Ein Bywyd (1964) and a striking semi-fictional autobiography, Afal Drwg Adda (1973). He had made his mark as a poet at an early age and won the Crown in the National Eisteddfod in 1927. At their best his poems are as powerful and disturbing as Un Nos Ola Leuad. His published collections of verse are:

  • Canu Cynnar (1937)
  • Tantalus (1957)
  • Llef Un yn Llefain (1963)

A full collected edition of his poems was published in 1979.

Famous quotes containing the words poetry and/or works:

    Painting gives the object itself; poetry what it implies. Painting embodies what a thing contains in itself; poetry suggests what exists out of it, in any manner connected with it.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    The subterranean miner that works in us all, how can one tell whither leads his shaft by the ever shifting, muffled sound of his pick?
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
