Brinley Richards (1904-1981)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brinley Richards (1904-1981) was a Welsh language poet and author, who was Archdruid of the National Eisteddfod of Wales from 1972 to 1975.

Brinli (the bardic name by which he was known as Archdruid) was born in Cwm Llynfi, Glamorgan, south Wales. At the Llanrwst Eisteddfod of 1951, he won the chair, qualifying him to become Archdruid in due course.

His collected poems, Cerddi'r Dyffryn, were published in 1967.
