drawing on their confessions and trial documents

'Afterlives'

Though several of the stories focus with satirical sharpness on the pretensions of ‘The Republic’ (Guyana in its most self-consciously socialist imposture)

John Ormond: Collected Poems Jonathan Wilson John PiperJohn Ormond (1923 1990) is one of the remarkable generation of poets born in south Wales in the early 1920s which includes Dannie Abse and Leslie Norris. He was a friend of fellow Swansea writers Dylan Thomas and Vernon Watkins, both of whom were key influences on a poetry of consistently high standards. A significant number of his poems, many of them elegiac, probe his Welsh roots; others focus on aspects of the natural world. John Ormonds poems
