Gower Poems

<p>Whilst it was the force of Dylan Thomas' words that impelled the author to write <em>Dylan's Gower</em> and <em>To Dylan</em> that voice is more distant here.</p><p>Robert first visited Gower as a child. He has memories of banks of hedgerows bursting with wild flowers. At Rhossili there used to be a sign that pointed out across the sea. It read: Patagonia 8000 miles.</p><p>Years later he travelled to Argentina and a number of poems in this volume reflect his interest in Patagonia and in the Welsh who settled there.</p><p>One of his books <em>Poemas a la Patagonia </em> is partially a tribute to his Spanish teacher at school in England Mr Enyr Jones who belonged to that community.</p><p>He continues to mine the rich seam of tales and legends relating to Gower that he has come across over the years in conversations with Gower people.</p>
