His Selected Poems draws on six collections published between 1978 and 1994.Several uncollected pieces are also included.The earlier poems are diverse: descriptions of work in heavy industry and delicate 'herbals' (observations of wildlife around the writer's childhood home in Wales) exist side by side.
