Autorenporträt
W. H. Davies (1871-1940) is a renowned Welsh poet, most famous for his poem Leisure (1911). After experiencing many setbacks, he published his first book, The Soul's Destroyer and Other Poems in March 1905. Subsequent volumes included New Poems (1907), Nature Poems (1908), Farwell to Poesy (1910), Songs of Joy (1911), Foliage (1913), and The Bird of Paradise (1914). He wrote few works of prose; Autobiography of a Super-Tramp (1908) is his most famous. He married in 1923 and his last place of residence was Nailsworth, Gloucestershire. In 1926 he was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Wales. In 1938 a plaque in his honour was unveiled in Newport. The famed 70s rock band were, indeed, named after Davies' book.
