The Return: Selected Poems by Myfanwy Haycock
Myfanwy Haycock (1913-1963) mapped out a career as one of Wales's most talented female poets during the mid-twentieth century and was dubbed as 'Gwent's second voice' at the age of nineteen. A skilled illustrator, journalist and broadcaster, Haycock explored the world around her through impressionistic poetry and often outspoken articles. However, in the years since her death, Haycock's poetic landscape has largely been lost. These poems of nature and love, dreams and mourning, transport the reader from the roaming South Wales valleys to the trampled grass of Kensington and back again.
