Rhys Owain Williams

Reviews

​"Rhys Owain Williams is maybe a rare talent in poetry. His voice is strong, understandable, serious but lighthearted."
​– Aisling Tempany, Marble Poetry

​"Rhys Owain Williams explores the ghostly ripples that are cast out by everyday happenings, reflecting on and weaving together the disparate strands of experience that make up a life."

​"That Lone Ship explores [social struggles] from a different perspective: that of a working-class crisis of masculinity in left-behind communities...The 'heavy silence of monoliths' in 'Bonaparte Before the Sphinx' is an enduring image emblematic of the whole collection: the unspoken words of forgotten  communities and unwritten histories, time and history as silent monolith."
​– Gareth Leaman, Poetry Wales
Published in Poetry Wales 54.3

​"That Lone Ship is another kind of poetry collection altogether, barnacled with haiku, patched up with odd borrowings from reading, memory and the news, full of curious nooks and obsessions."
​– Thomas Tyrrell, Wales Arts Review
