Tony Conran

Tony Conran (1931–2013) produced the celebrated collection of translations of Welsh-language poetry, The Penguin Book of Welsh Verse. His late 1950s articles in The Anglo-Welsh Review were the first stirrings of a critical reassessment which led to ‘the second flowering’ of Anglo-Welsh poetry in the Sixties. He was also a respected poet in his own right, publishing more than a dozen collections of his own work.
