A collection of critical essays dealing with the work of R S Thomas. It presents fresh readings of the poet's central preoccupations as well as discussions of hitherto neglected themes, and examines the ways in which Thomas negotiated painful cultural, spiritual and emotional tensions.

Reviews
"... an impressive range of critical and comparative approaches ... This collection demonstrates clearly that the poet has as much, and more, to say to us than the cultural icon." Gwales.com. "It's an important and welcome addition to Thomas criticism." Planet 'Attractively produced with a useful bibliography ...The first collection of new Thomas criticism to be published in English after Thomas's death, Echoes to the Amen pushes the extended conversations and debates about the poet's work in necessary directions.'
