Synopsis

R. S. Thomas (1913-2000) was a Welsh poet and an Anglican clergyman whose ironic anti-pastorals, poems of filial resentment, bold charting of the new cosmos, and dialogues with Wallace Stevens and Søren Kierkegaard are among the subjects explored in this collection of critical essays. The first volume to appear since the poet's death in 2000, Echoes to the Amen considers the achievement and legacy of a Welsh icon and one of the great poets of the twentieth century, offering a broad and detailed assessment of the full range of Thomas's distinguished career, as well as engaging new readings of the painful cultural, spiritual, and emotional tensions of his work.
