> I have the Lynette Roberts Collected, Max, and my jury's out. I find myself

> her publisher, questioned her vocabulary sometimes.
> The Own Sheers programme on her was, to my mind, not too satisfactory, most
> of it revolved around just one poem of hers, which was also a love lyric to
> Alun Lewis, an illicit love lyric, so it made a story, though the interviews
> with her ebullient daughter were enjoyable.
> She is very contemporary in some respects: for instance in her assumption of
> identity, her fabrication almost of her Welshness.
