I agree with meimac on both accounts. Robin Llwyd is one of the finest (but least known) poet of our times. However also agree with meimac that robin is not the first 'Modern' Welsh poet but he certainly is the first Post-modern Welsh poet.

I agree with meimac on both accounts. He is a fine poet and indeed was a precursor of the post-modern (rather than 'modern')'cynghanedd' movement here in Wales.

comment by:meimac
Robin is a well respected as a poet but he is far from being the first modern Welsh poet. The term itself is ridiculous.

comment by:Tobler?n
Not particularly modern or post-modern in my humble opinion, in comparison with others of his generation.

I heard Bryn Terfel singing some of Robin Llwyd's poems last night, excellent stuff. But I can't find a collection of his works in the local library. Can any one help?
