Text: We are introduced to a number of interesting characters, lively and colourful rhymesters, and the wonderful poets of the Eisteddfod - such as Watcyn Wyn, Gwydderig, D. L. Moses, Nantlais, J. T. Job, Amanwy and others...
Even more interesting is the story of men such as D. L. Moses (Evans), - men whose names I had heard of in my childhood, but of whom I knew very little. D. L. Moses came from Cribyn, a village between Llanybydder and Lampeter, and following periods at Blaenbidernyn and Rhydcymerau, he came to Brynaman as a check-weigher and later as a clerk at the Iron Works. D. L. Moses was a native of an area where there was a lively interest in literature and cynghanedd (poetry in strict metre), and his family had close connections with the family of Daniel Evans (Daniel Ddu o Geredigion; 1792-1846). His elegy in memory of Daniel Ddu, came second to an ode by Ioan Cunllo under the adjudication of Eben Fardd at the Lampeter Eisteddfod of 1859. And D. L. Moses above all, enthused the budding poets of Brynaman, Gwauncaegurwen and Cwmaman in the art of cynghanedd. These were young men such as Watkin Hezekiah Williams (Watcyn Wyn), his second cousin Richard Williams (Gwydderig), his cousin Griffith Williams (Tegynys), Thomas Thomas (Tom Pant-yr-ywen), Morgan Evans (Meurig Aman), William Evans (Gwilym Cyrwen) and Evan Gethin.
Dr Walters pays a great deal of attention to D. L. Moses and the younger poets whom he influenced, in a remarkably interesting way. Perhaps it's the magnitude of their literary output, rather than its quality which strikes us today, but no one who has an interest in Welsh working-class culture can read about these people without feeling his heart warming to them.
