Mogg Williams – Selected Works

 

Edited by John Evans

"Mogg Williams of Ogmore Vale, poet and disabled miner, in Look Stranger conveyed exactly in a later time and context the dignified loneliness and pain of the vanished Huw Menai...It is sad that so much South Welsh talent should have had to grow from such a pungent compost of early mutilations." - Gwyn Thomas, Writer and Broadcaster.

"The media and newspapers could learn a great deal from the poetry of Mogg Williams. His words communicate an understanding of the miner’s experiences that so-called objective reporting very rarely achieves. His poem The Nameless Ones about the unemployed, should be read by every MP in the House of Commons." - Dennis Skinner, Member of Parliament.

"Of all my Welsh contemporaries, Mogg Williams has inspired me the most." - Karl Francis, Film Director & Writer.

"His writings touch a deep chord in me and enhances my commitment to socialism." - Jack Jones, Former Secretary T.G.W.U.
