| | Review: Collected Poems by Lynette Roberts | By genre | Guardian Unlimited Books |
 | | Exotic, daring, larger than life, Roberts shone throughout the 1940s, impressing such diverse figures as Robert Graves, TS Eliot, Edith Sitwell and Alun Lewis. |
 | | Roberts was born in 1909 in Buenos Aires to a family with strong Welsh traditions, and in many ways her marriage and the subsequent move from London to the village of Llanybri was an attempt to move to a kind of homeland. |
 | | It was an event that was fraught with tensions, but one that enabled her to produce, in just over a decade, an extraordinary and unique body of work. |
