Reviews
While Humphries modern poems are often good, his poems in the ancient Welsh meters are splendid, especially "Shaft and Wings of the Way It Was Once" about the role of the bard in Welsh culture. They are also valuable examples for someone (like m) who wants to learn the WElsh meters without knowing Welsh.
