Folk poet Waldo Williams (1904-71) wrote about rural Welsh life, about pacifism and the brotherhood of all peoples. He is considered one of the most important Welsh poets of the 20th century, and in today's troubled world, his writing about the importance of peace is more relevant than ever. This bilingual collection sets some of his best poems in the original Welsh alongside translations into English by Menna Elfyn - an award-winning poet herself - in an effort to bring his work to new audiences. The book includes an introduction assessing the cultural and literary importance of Waldo Williams.
