Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

John Ormond was a Welsh poet and BBC documentary filmmaker. In a uniquely dualistic creative career spanning five decades, he made major contributions both to English-language poetry and the documentary film form. Examining his work against the backdrop of a changing Wales, this book is the first in-depth study of the fascinating correspondences between Ormond’s twin creative channels.
