Likely. Possibly, Charles Williams (English poet/scholar 1886-1945)
"Taliessin through Logres" and other works. Fascinating, beautiful poetry,
though extrememly difficult. Orig. publ. by OUP; I have a 1974 paperback
ed. (with various works, and a long essay by C.S.Lewis dealing both with
Williams and the "Matter of Britain".) publ. by Eerdmans, Grand Rapids Mich.
ISBN 0-8028-1578-2 if that helps.
Haven't read thru the introductory material in a while, but IIRC Williams,
along with Lewis, was part of Tolkien's group. I do find, on P. 1,
"...Logres (Arthur's Britain)..."
