The first poem, published here, and never collected, is 'Gideon Pugh' [attributed to S. R. Thomas in the volume]. "Gideon Pugh may be a minor poem, but it is a significant one" [S. J. Perry. OUP. 2013.]
The second poem published here for the first time is Thomas' 'The Rising of Glyndwr'. Published in 'The Stones of the Field' a year later, "It is at this moment that we first meet ' the matter of Wales ' fully articulated in R.S. Thomas's work ' The Rising of Glyndwr ' ". [W. Moelwyn Merchant. UWP. 1989].

This volume published for the first time, 'Dog, Lapwing and Roebuck (3).
