Poetry Wales: Forty Years

Charting 40 years of evolving tastes, fashions, cultures, and politics, this anthology spotlights the original mission ofPoetry Walesmagazine: to provide a forum for Welsh writing in English. Today the magazine is a thoroughly internationalist journal, publishing poets from Heaney to Mapanje and translating works from around the world. Nevertheless, in the four decades of its existence, it has kept a sharp eye out for Welsh poets writing with invention, passion, and rigorand all reflecting, in both major and minor keys, the life of their homeland.

Robert Minhinnick is the editor of Poetry Wales magazine, the author of seven collections of poetry, and two books of travel and cultural essays.
