Poetry,

Manuscript, typescript and printed poems, some with notes by Harri Webb. Most are dated, include place of publication and have been numbered by Meic Stephens while compiling an anthology of Harri Webb's collected poems (Gomer, 1995). Some notes to Meic Stephens by Harri Webb on the poems suggest that this group was transferred to Meic Stephens before Harri Webb's death and a few of Harri Webb's poems are in the hand of Meic Stephens. There are a few letters connected with specific poems, e.g. from Gillian Clarke and Beth Owen. A poem/drama "Homecoming" and material connected to other projects such as "Memories of a Pit Orchestra" and "Poems and Pints" are included.
