My classical roots are still there. Then there’s my upbringing, learning to sing in church. And I have developed a love of folk songs.” KATHERINE JENKINS 1 With suitable apologies to the late Dylan Thomas (1914-1953), the great Welsh Poet and Playwright, for ‘borrowing’ the title form of his beautifully evocative Poem, “The Force That Through The Green Fuse Drives The Flower.” Welsh Poets, writing in English, include George Herbert (1593-1633) a Poet, Orator, Parliamentarian and Anglican Priest; Henry Vaughan (1622-1695) an Author, Physician and Metaphysical Poet who influenced the work of William Wordsworth and Alfred Lord Tennyson; John Dyer (1699-1757) a Poet, Itinerant Painter, Farmer and Anglican Priest; Edward Thomas (1878-1917) a Writer of Prose and Poetry who enlisted in the British Army in 1915 and was killed in action at the Battle of Arras in 1917; Gwyneth Lewis (1959-) Wales’ National Poet between 2005 and 2006, who studied at Cambridge, Harvard and Columbia Universities, a recipient of a D. Phil from Balliol College, Oxford University; in 2011 was a Visiting Fellow at her Undergraduate College, Girton College, Cambridge University; and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature; and Stephen Knight (1960-) a Poet and Writer who won the National Poetry Competition in 1992, whose works deal with themes of disappointment

  • Singer Katherine Jenkins Backs Dating Agency Campaign with Valentine Message for Troops in Afghanistan Submitted By: Marketing at the Mill Monday, 14 February 2011
    Singer Katherine Jenkins backs dating agency campaign with Valentine message for troops in Afghanistan Submitted by: marketing at the mill Monday, 14 February 2011 International singing star Katherine Jenkins is showing her support for a campaign by top military dating and penpal website forcespenpals.co.uk – by penning a ‘Valentine Hero’ message for British troops in Afghanistan. Through its Valentine Hero campaign, forcespenpals.co.uk has been urging its members to write messages of love and support for the guys and girls serving in the armed forces – especially those fighting in Afghanistan. Forcespenpals.co.uk is the UK's leading dedicated military dating and penpals website (http://www.forcespenpals.co.uk). It is backing its campaign with a Twitter awareness drive – and Katherine Jenkins is one of a number of celebrities who have responded, by composing her own Valentine Hero tweet. The Welsh classical and pop singing star wrote in her tweet: “Please send all our brave men and women my Valentine's love. Thinking of them & hoping to see them soon. Stay Safe!” Katherine has shown strong support for British troops fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. Just before Christmas 2010, she was forced to cancel a trip to Afghanistan as snow blocked fights – so she sang for troops at the airport instead. Dozens of forcespenpal.co.uk members have also written heartfelt and moving Valentine Hero messages of support which are being published on its website, Facebook page and via Twitter. Elizabeth wrote: A great big Happy Valentines Day hug to all our brave soldiers, we are so proud of you all.
