  • Alan Llwyd (born 1948), original name Alan Lloyd Roberts, is a Welsh poet, literary critic and editor, one of the most prolific Welsh-language poets in the last quarter of the 20th century. Born in Dolgellau, Gwynedd, Alan Llwyd was brought up on a farm at Cilan and was educated at Bangor University. He has been manager of a bookshop at Bala and worked as an editor for the Christopher Davies publishing company and an editorial officer for the Welsh Joint Education Committee. He published his first volume of poetry Y March Hud ("The Magic Horse") in 1971 as Alan Lloyd Roberts, and this has been followed by a series of other volumes. He came to prominence when he achieved the rare feat of winning both the Crown and the Chair at the 1973 National Eisteddfod and then repeated the feat in 1976. On the second occasion there was some controversy, as another popular poet, Dic Jones, lost out on the chair through a technicality. Llwyd has published collections and studies of the works of other poets, including Goronwy Owen and Hedd Wyn, and wrote the script for the Oscar-nominated Welsh-language film Hedd Wyn (1992) about the life of the latter, who was killed in World War I. While most of his books have been on literary themes, he has recently edited Cymru ddu = Black Wales, a history of black Welsh people.
  • Alan Llwyd (né en 1948), de son vrai nom Alan Lloyd Roberts, est un poète gallois, critique et éditeur, de la fin du XX siècle. Né à Dolgellau, élevé chez ses parents fermiers à Cilan puis étudiant à Bangor. Il a tenu une petite librairie à Bala puis a travaillé chez l'éditeur Christopher Davies et le Welsh Joint Education Committee. Son premier volume de poésie Y March Hud (« Le Cheval magique ») en 1971 sous son nom d' Alan Lloyd Roberts, a été suivi de plusieurs autres. Il est devenu célèbre pour avoir gagné à la fois la couronne et la chaire à l'Eisteddfod Nationale de 1973 et récidivé en 1976. À cette occasion une controverse eut lieu car la chaire fut perdue par Dic Jones pour raison technique. Llwyd a publié des collections et études sur les travaux d'autres poètes et a écrit le scénario du film (en gallois) Hedd Wyn (1992), nommé aux Oscars, qui évoque le poète Hedd Wyn, tué pendant la première Guerre mondiale. Alors que la plupart de ses livres traitent de thèmes littéraires, il a récemment publié Cymru ddu (« Le Pays de Galles noir »), une histoire des Noirs gallois.
