Infos

This is the first book to present a series of critical essays on the work of the Argentine-born Welsh writer Lynette Roberts. A charismatic and important figure in the history of British poetry and anglophone Welsh writing, Roberts interacted closely with some of the most influential poets of her day. Yet her innovative poetic vision remains unique, and this book brings to light new critical contexts for reading the work of this fascinating twentieth-century poet and novelist.
