Evelyn ('Lynette') Beatrice Roberts (4 July 1909 – 26 September 1995) was a poet. Born in Argentina, she settled in Britain and wrote in English. ==Life== Evelyn Beatrice Roberts was born in Argentina on 4 July 1909, in Buenos Aires, to parents of Welsh extraction. While still young she moved to Britain, and studied in London at the Central School for Arts and Crafts. In 1939 she married the poet and literary editor Keidrych Rhys at Llansteffan in Carmarthenshire, and they settled in the neighbouring LLanybri, where they lived during World War II in relative poverty, compared with what she was used to. She and her husband had two children, a daughter, Angharad, born in April 1945, and a son, Pridein, born in November 1946. In Llanybri she painted, and in 1944 her collection ''Poems'' were published by Faber and Faber. She immortalised her village in her "Poem from Llanybri". This poem was addressed to the poet, Alun Lewis, to whom Roberts confessed to being attracted.〔(A Poet's Guide to Britain )〕 In 1944 and 1945 drafts of Robert Graves's ''The White Goddess'' were published in Keidrych Rhys's periodical, ''Wales''. After the War Roberts was the dedicatee of Robert Graves's ''The White Goddess'' in its first edition (1948), having provided much of the Welsh material used by him. In 1949, she and Keidrych Rhys divorced. In 1951 Faber and Faber published her ''Gods with stainless ears: a heroic poem''. After she became a Jehovah's Witness she ceased to publish. She died on 26 September 1995, at Ferryside, Carmarthenshire. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lynette Roberts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
