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)..."
