R.S. Thomas is one of the most important poets of the post-war period, 'the most resolute religious poetry this century' (TLS). His influence on British poetry is enormous, while the variety of his themes: disappearing ways of life; man's relationship with God; cultural imperialism; the crisis in Welsh identity; nature and the environment, has brought him a wide and popular audience. The author of more than twenty volumes, his massive Collected Poems appeared in 1993. The Page's Drift is a celebration of R.S. Thomas's eightieth birthday and his long writing career.
