The death of poet Leslie Norris last week marks the end of an era for literature in Wales (15). Gwyneth Lewis, national poet of Wales, said yesterday, "He was a key figure in the development of so-called Anglo-Welsh literature, although that term isn't really used now. It's a terrible loss. It's the passing of an era, with his death. He's been a key figure for a whole generation of Welsh poets. What was inspiring was the combination of Welshness and international standards" (15).
