Wales Magazine
See main article Wales (magazine)
From 1937 to 1949 and from 1958 to 1960 his editorship of the magazine, Wales, made it a channel for English-language writing in Wales. In the magazine Rhys published articles, stories and poems by Welsh writers or writers involved with Wales, such as Alun Lewis, Saunders Lewis, Dylan Thomas, Glyn Jones and Lynette Roberts. The magazine was an attempt to provide a platform for "younger progressive Welsh writers" who felt that their contribution to British culture was marginalised,, and contributed to the creation of the concept of Anglo-Welsh literature or Welsh writing in English.
The poet Robert Graves wrote to Rhys and Lynette Roberts that he hoped that the periodical Wales might be a 'record-vehicle' for a new movement of tradition-minded yet modern Celtic poets. Drafts of parts of his book on mythology, The White Goddess, were published there in 1944 and 1945 as three articles, 'Dog', 'Roebuck' and 'Lapwing'.
The magazine is being digitized by the Welsh Journals Online project at the National Library of Wales.
