John Ormond, Welsh poet and BBC documentary filmmaker, led a uniquely multifaceted creative career spanning five decades. He made major, if under-acknowledged, contributions both to English-language poetry and realism in documentary form. Examining his work against the backdrop of a changing Wales, this book is the first in-depth study of the fascinating correspondences between Ormond’s twin artistic channels. Kieron Smith reveals Ormond to be an important case study in the history of documentary filmmaking, British television, in inter-artistic creativity, and in the cultural history of Wales.
