Leslie Norris: Unpublished and Uncollected Poems is a four-volume softcover set of the celebrated Welsh writer's previously unavailable poems. Printed posthumously, this work had its inception some months before the passing of Norris, and was urged forward by his wife following his death. The Ballad of Self and Self and other poems comprises poems from earlier decades of Norris's long, fertile career. Translations presents Norris's wonderful renderings of works by Dafydd ap Gwilym, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The Small World contains, first, a poetical autobiography, which was yet a work-in-progress at the end of Norris's life; and second, his most recent verse. Recollections is an assemblage of memories excerpted from a recent email correspondence between Leslie Norris and Linda Evans, an MA student studying at the Centre for Research into the English Literature and Language of Wales (CREW) at the University of Wales, Swansea.
Several special contributors pay homage to Leslie Norris in this set. Among these are: Meic Stephens, editor of Poetry Wales; Alan Keele, Professor of German Literature, Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages, Brigham Young University; and Peter Macuck, poet and editor of Tar River Review.
Subtle, earthy cover illustrations are by Robert Buchert.
