Book Synopsis
Examines the question of how English-language poetry from Wales has responded to the diverse physical environments of Wales. This book draws on aspects of human geography to explore the rich contemporary poetics of Welsh space and place. It focuses on the poetry of writers who have come to prominence since the 1970s.

Trade Review
'Matthew Jarvis's excellent Welsh Environments in Contemporary Poetry may be regarded as a contribution to the recent and welcome geographical/spatial trend in criticism of literature from Wales. We are very fortunate that a young critic of Matthew Jarvis's caliber should have elected a Welsh identity and habitation. He is among a new generation now following in the footsteps of critics like Roland Mathias, Tony Conran and M. Wynn Thomas, and is taking the path of poetry criticism in a new and interesting direction'. Katie Gramich, New Welsh Review, No. 83
