Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
From the Fortunate Isles: New and Selected Poems by the Welsh poet Tony Curtis marks a milestone year, the 70th anniversary of his birth, and celebrates the career of an author who has won numerous prizes for his poetry as well as being the author and editor of critical volumes, scholarly and popular works on modern art and thoughtful anthologies of poetry. One can see the continuity of his concerns: the history and countryside of Pembrokeshire; war in all of its manifestations in the 20th century; and the fine arts, particularly painting and sculpture and poetry produced by the finest minds in Wales such as Dannie Abse, Dylan Thomas, John Tripp, Peter Prendergast, Gwen and Augustus John. The paintings of the American artist Andrew Wyeth also inspire a sequence of poems. As does his collaboration with the Long Island-based artist John Digby, 'The Arches': poems are accompanied by the surreal collages that inspired them.
