A presentation of the poetry of R. S. Thomas by the poet himself.
The quiet development and growth in readership of Thomas's poetry now covers 35 years His early work is rooted in the Welsh country communities which he served as a minister until his recent retirement. His later poems deal with the deepest needs of the human condition. His namesake. Dylan, wrote about Wales with the wildness and vision of a child. R. S. Thomas has given us a Wales - and a vision of life - which are only possible for a grown person.
