John Ormond

John Ormond (1923 – 1990) was a Welsh poet, film-maker and journalist who also worked for BBC Wales’s fledgling news service. His first collection Indications (Grey Walls Press) was published in 1943, after which there was a gap of more than 20 years before his next. A Collected Poems appeared posthumously in 2015. Much of his work explores his Welsh roots and is concerned with family, locality and the natural world.
