Whilst it was the force of Dylan Thomas' words that impelled the author to write Dylan's Gower and To Dylan, that voice is more distant here. Robert first visited Gower as a child. He has memories of banks of hedgerows, bursting with wild flowers. At Rhossili, there used to be a sign that pointed out across the sea. It read: Patagonia 8000 miles. Years later, he travelled to Argentina and a number of poems, in this volume, reflect his interest in Patagonia and in the Welsh who settled there. One of his books, Poemas a la Patagonia, is partially a tribute to his Spanish teacher at school in England, Mr Enyr Jones, who belonged to that community. He continues to mine the rich seam of tales and legends, relating to Gower, that he has come across, over the years, in conversations with Gower people.
