R S Thomas ... Lean
Hours Awake Listening The Welshman R S
Thomas has spent the lean hours of his life awake, listening and writing poems born of a passion for justice, disgust at the destruction of nature by modem technology, a search for personal and national identity and a quest for a meaningful relationship with God. To mark the 80th birthday of one of the most prolific and highly regarded poets writing in English, R S
Thomas's Collected Poems are published this month. At his home in Lleyn, he talks to Ned Thomas and reads from his book. Producer Julian May
