The commentary piece by Patrick McGuinness documents the rediscovery inrecent years of an extraordinary Argentinian-born Welsh writer whose poetry was championed by T.S. Eliot and Robert Graves.

In 2005 Carcanet published Lynette Roberts's Collected Poems, making available again for the first time in fifty years the work of an original, haunting and experimental late-modernist. In 2008 Carcanet published Roberts's Diaries, Letters and Recollections, which observe daily life in a Welsh village in wartime with a poetic intensity. Patrick McGuinness, himself a poet, translator and teacher of French at Oxford University, is the editor of both volumes.
