Two collections of his poetry have been published, Noth (London: Secker & Warburg, 1972) and The Quarry (London: Faber & Faber, 1999). He has written extensively, in English and Welsh, on Welsh manuscripts and on Welsh traditional music. He was awarded the Derek Allen Prize for Celtic Studies by the British Academy in 2006.
