Anglo-Welsh poetry includes poetry written by Welsh people in the English language, as well as poetry by those born outside Wales, but of Welsh descent, whose work is influenced by their Welsh roots. Glyn Jones, in The Dragon Has Two Tongues, defines Anglo-Welsh writers as "those Welsh men and women who write in English about Wales" (p. 37). The term tends to have been replaced by the broader "Welsh writing in English" or Welsh literature in English.
Welsh poetry in English is not necessarily influenced by the historically much longer, and parallel, tradition of poetry in Welsh, but it may be influenced by the English dialects of Wales.

Famous quotes containing the word poetry:
“Thus all probable reasoning is nothing but a species of sensation. ‘Tis not solely in poetry and music, we must follow our taste and sentiment, but likewise in philosophy, When I am convinc’d of any principle, ‘tis only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
