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, poetry and/or works:
“It is at the same time by poetry and through poetry, by and through music, that the soul glimpses the splendors found behind the tomb; and when an exquisite poem brings tears to one’s eyes, these tears are not the sign of excessive pleasure, they are rather witness to an irritated melancholy, to a condition of nerves, to a nature exiled to imperfection and which would like to seize immediately, on this very earth, a revealed paradise.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Poetry, whose material is language, is perhaps the most human and least worldly of the arts, the one in which the end product remains closest to the thought that inspired it.... Of all things of thought, poetry is the closest to thought, and a poem is less a thing than any other work of art ...”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honor.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm VIII (l. VIII, 5–6)
