Thread Name: 5 favorite Les Barker poems
Subject: RE: 5 favorite Les Barker poems
Les was a lyrical genius. Top two of my many favourites are "Deja vu" & "Any News Of The Icebeg"
Apart from his witty stuff, he did this amazing work .... (From Reddit) "Les Barker (1947–2023) was an acclaimed British poet and humorist who learned Welsh after moving to North Wales, winning the Welsh Learner of the Year award in 2008. He produced, translated, and performed poetry in Welsh, and in 2010 published an updated English translation of Daniel Owen's Welsh classic novel Enoc Huws."
