Collected Poems: 1945–1990 by R.S. Thomas brings together nearly five decades of poetry by one of Wales’s most powerful and spiritually resonant poets. With themes ranging from faith, doubt, the beauty and bleakness of nature, to Welsh identity, silence, and divine mystery, Thomas’s work is both stark and sublime. This collection showcases his evolution from early lyrical works to more austere, metaphysical explorations of God, suffering, and the human condition. A deeply contemplative volume, it is essential reading for lovers of religious poetry, landscape verse, and modern literary depth.
