The Return by Myfanwy Haycock

Myfanwy Haycock (1913-1963) mapped out a career as one of Wales's most talented female poets during the mid-twentieth century and was dubbed as 'Gwent's second voice' at the age of nineteen. A skilled illustrator, journalist and broadcaster, Haycock explored the world around her through impressionistic poetry and often outspoken articles. However, in the years since her death, Haycock's poetic landscape has largely been lost. These poems of nature and love, dreams and mourning, transport the reader from the roaming South Wales valleys to the trampled grass of Kensington and back again.
Myfanwy Haycock (1913-1963) was one of the Eastern Valley of Wales's most endearing and talented female lyric poets, publishing seven poetry collections and broadcasting her poems on radio and television. In 1932, Haycock won the English Lyric entry at the National Eisteddfod, Port Talbot, for her poem 'The Hill of Dreams' and, later, two bardic chairs, at Ebbw Vale and Newport. Her poetry embodied her love of nature, places, and her hometown of Pontypool. She was a regular feature writer for the South Wales Argus, Western Mail and many others, illustrating her poems and short stories with scraperboard woodcuts. Moving to London in 1943, she worked for the BBC and became a member of The Society of Women Writers and Journalists. Haycock was the youngest of three daughters born in Pontnewynydd to coalminer James David Haycock and his wife Alice Maud. In 1947, she married Dr Arthur Williams, settling in Surrey with three children. At the age of fifty, she tragically passed away after a debilitating illness.
