The Man Who Went Into the West
Byron Rogers
R.S. Thomas is accepted, along with Ted Hughes, Philip Larkin and Seamus Heaney, as one of the great post-war British poets. All his life, he was a minister in the Church of Wales, at a succession of increasingly remote country parishes. This is a hilarious story of this man's life, and that of his household.
