Some Welsh authors write solely about Wales. Richard Gwyn stands apart from these. This, his first collection , reflects on his life in Greece and Spain; tow countries in which he both lived and worked for many years. His poetry has an intimate and endemic touch not found in much of the only too familiar holiday travelogue type of poetry. As a result of this he mixes that rare combination of exotic narrative and lyrical revelation to his work.
