A panel discussion, chaired by Susan Fogarty, exploring how the revered religious poet R.S. Thomas transformed Wales into the backdrop for an epic struggle against "The Machine." The session began with an introduction to R.S. Thomas by poets Grahame Davies and Peter Finch, both of whom had the privilege of knowing him personally. With a fresh perspective, Avant-gardist Peter Finch reinterpreted the work of the great poet for the data age.
