Ben Bowen

This text looks at the Ben Bowen phenomenon as a product both of his view of himself as a great poet and a Wales that fed that assumption. It traces his escape from a miner's life in the Rhondda, his stay in South Africa, his talent for controversy and his growing awareness of his early death.
