I cannot attend this session in London, but I will reread my small volume 'Selected Poems of Edward Thomas' edited by R. S. Thomas and dedicated to Helen Thomas, Faber and Faber, 1964, with great pleasure. Somehow, I secured this volume from the cast-offs of a now defunct Academic 6th Form Centre in Bermuda. Second-hand shops and Church Fair tables are often sources of sheer literary delights.
