- catalog abstract ""R. S. Thomas is a major figure in the landscape of contemporary poetry, our leading Christian poet and a modern voice that resists passing fashion and the standardisation of the human spirit." "What gives force to his poetry also shapes his autobiographical prose. R.S. Thomas learned Welsh as an adult, and directed his career as a priest so that it took him back to north Wales, his birthplace and the stronghold of the Welsh language. This need to reclaim his identity in a particular place and a particular culture is analysed most clearly in works originally written in Welsh and now gathered together for the first time in this volume." "Here is a collection of Thomas's most personal reflections. Former Paths charts the beginnings of the journey; The Creative Writer's Suicide meditates on his loss and retrieval of his native language; No-one traces the path from his Anglesey childhood through the various parishes of his care as a priest, to his return to north Wales, to the Llyn Peninsula; A Year in Llyn is his alert record of the natural world around him."--Jacket.".
