History
John Ormond (1923-1990) was born in Dunvant and educated at Swansea Grammar School and the University College of Swansea. He was employed as a staff writer for the Picture Post in London, and sub-editor of the South Wales Evening Post in Swansea, before embarking on a career with the BBC in Wales, initially as a news assistant and later as a renowned producer and director of documentary films. Although his poems were published in the volume Indications (1943), he stopped writing for some years until the 1960s, and destroyed most of his early verse. He was a close friend of Glyn Jones.
