Twentieth Century Anglo-Welsh Poetry
"English-language poetry in Wales is largely a twentieth century phenomenon: as this anthology demonstrates, its contribution to poetry in Britain is influential beyond its brief history. First published in 1997, this new edition brings the century completely up to date with the inclusion of work by outstanding new poets Owen Sheers, Sarah Corbett, Kate Bingham, Frances Williams and Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch."--BOOK JACKET.

Medieval Welsh Poems
This anthology of Welsh poems from c.575 to c.1525 offers the general reader the most substantial collection of medieval Welsh verse yet rendered into English, in translations that will support the claim that this poetry is one of the finest literary achievements of the Middle Ages. Drawing on Professor Clancy's acclaimed Medieval Welsh Lyrics (1965) and The Earliest Welsh poetry (1970) this comprehensive anthology presents over 150 poems, eloquently translated that render poetry as poetry. A lucid introduction, ample notes and a glossary provide the background needed for a full appreciation of the poems.
Medieval Welsh Poems
"Loomis and Johnston have translated 111 poems into idiomatic English, while retaining the wonderful cadences of the Welsh. Sixteen leading poets of medieval Wales, including the acknowledged masters, Dafydd ap Gwilym and Guto'r Glyn, are finally available to English readers. Johnston brings his experience as pioneer editor and critic to this collaboration. Loomis's translations have been praised for their accuracy and their lyrical quality: His Dafydd ap Gwilym: The Poems (MRTS) has been widely acclaimed. The comprehensive introduction is supplemented by prefaces to each poet, generous commentary, a guide to Welsh pronunciation and maps. The volume is a delight to use."

Together, they give the flavour of a poetic tradition, both ancient and modern, in the Welsh language and in English, that is internationally renowned for its distinction and continuing vibrancy.
The Bloodaxe Book of Modern Welsh Poetry
Welsh is the oldest surviving Celtic language, and the most flourishing. For around fifteen centuries Welsh poets have expressed an intense awareness of what it is like to be human in this part of the world in poems of extraordinary range and depth. And despite the global tendency towards homogenisation, Welsh poets have fought back, drawing inspiration from both the traditional and the contemporary to forge a new and rainbow-like modernism. This wide-ranging anthology of 20th-century Welsh-language poetry in English translation - by far the most comprehensive of its kind - will be a revelation for most readers. It will dispel the romantic images of Welsh poets as bards or druids and blow aw...
