The Return

By Myfanwy Haycock

Myfanwy Haycock, born in 1913, mapped out a career as one of Wales's most talented female poets during the mid-twentieth century and was dubbed as 'Gwent's second voice' at the age of 19. A skilled illustrator, journalist and broadcaster, Haycock explored the world around her through impressionistic poetry and often outspoken articles. However in the years since her death, Haycock's poetic landscape has largely been lost. During her multifaceted life, experiencing the tragedy of the Second World War to her own debilitating illness, Haycock was able to visualise the beauty around her and make 'her literary output shine like a diamond among broken glass'. Transporting the reader to the roaming valleys and exploring the foggy landscape of Monmouthshire, to overlooking the rolling Surrey woodlands from her garden to the trampled grass of Kensington. Foreword by Jenni Crane.
