Reviews
'... scrupulously compiled and edited by Sam Adams ... wider readership and critical discussion of Roland Mathias in Wales are long overdue. With this book, they are now possible. One can only be thankful for its appearance, and grateful to Sam Adams for his role in the labour that has brought it into being ... It is good to feel that with this book, his poetry is now available to be read more widely, and to enter into the mainstream of the literary culture that he has served so well in many ways.' Planet 'In concept and execution the book is a worthy tribute to the long and distinguished career of Roland Mathias; it recognizes the value of the poetry and the importance of the poet by treating both with sustained and serious scholarly attention.' (Poetry Wales)
