The work of an original, haunting, and experimental modernist poet is made available again for the first time in 50 years in this volume.
Lynette Roberts is principally a war poet, in that her two published collections take as their subject a woman's life in wartime.
A late modernist, she works on two scales at the same time: the mythic and the domestic.
As a Welsh writer, her best work stands alongside that of her near-contemporaries, David Jones, R.
Thomas and Dylan Thomas.
As a woman poet, her work bears comparison with that of both Mina Loy and Djuna Barnes.
