Uncollected Poems

R.S. Thomas (1913-2000) is a major writer of our time. A substantial number of his poems, however, have hitherto remained uncollected, and often elusive - poems published in newspapers, magazines, and journals, as well as in private or limited editions. Uncollected Poems - published to mark the centenary of Thomas' birth - brings together for the first time a rigorous selection of the best of these. Spanning the whole of Thomas' career, from an early sonnet to his first wife, M.E. Eldridge, to poems which are powerful expressions of the metaphysical meditations of his later years. It gives readers of R.S. Thomas' work access to much new and fascinating material.
