Does it matter?\nI spoke the tongue that was passed on\nTo me in the place I happened to be,\nA place huddled between grey walls.\nOf cloud for at least half the year.\n--From A Welsh Testament\n\nWhen R.S. Thomas died in September 2000, he was widely regarded not only as the leading Anglo-Welsh poet of our time, but as a major world poet. His works offered challenging statements about isolation; many of the early verses focused on the people in the remote depths of rural Wales where Thomas lived and worked as a clergyman. Included in this fascinating compilation areGifts, The Old Language, Song at the Years Turning, and nearly 100 more. Includes an introduction to Thomass life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Phoenix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44857365889077,"sku":"ByrdShop_0753816539","price":225.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0753816539_adea1585-01c5-441b-8c79-166d32bd05d8.jpg?v=1784540853","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/r-s-thomas-phoenix-poetry-9780753816530","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
