Review: "Gwyn Thomas combines the detailed knowledge of the literary scholar with the intuitive grasp of one who is himself a distinguished poet." -Planet

"In addition to its sound academic base, the volume also benefits from Gwyn Thomas''s ability and insight as a modern Welsh poet, a vocation which has enabled him to understand that a translated poem can provide only a glimpse of the original composition." --gwales.com

"His poems . . . have been painstakingly translated with empathy and sensitivity by the scholar and the experienced translator Gwyn Thomas. Without doubt he has set he has set himself a difficult and almost impossible task but undaunted he has done so with integrity, skilful patience, weaving Dafydd ap Gwilym's words into an English harmony." -PQR
