This book shows the poems of R. S. Thomas in a new light, as places where a transforming encounter with the silent second day of the Crucifixion story is made possible.
R. S. Thomas (1913–2000) was one of the major poets of the twentieth century, an Anglican priest who fiercely disliked the spread of Anglicanism in Wales and was called “the Solzhenitsyn of Wales” for his ability to force attention to matters of conscience. This book reveals his poetry’s deep indebtedness to key features of the classic Christian tradition through a focus on the three days at the center of the story of the resurrection and how they are reflected in and treated through Thomas’s work.
