In the Wales magazine, Rhys published articles, short stories, and poems by an array of predominantly Welsh writers and thinkers, such as Alun Lewis, Saunders Lewis, Dylan Thomas, Glyn Jones and Lynette Roberts.
Early drafts of parts of Robert Graves's book on mythology and poetry, The White Goddess, were published there as three articles ('Dog', 'Roebuck' and 'Lapwing') between 1944 and 1945.
[2] Ten of Powys's essays (including these Wales articles) were subsequently collected and published by Keidrych Rhys and Lynette Roberts' publishing house, The Druid Press, under the title Obstinate Cymric.
The magazine was a conscious attempt to provide a platform for 'younger progressive Welsh writers' who felt that their contribution to British culture was marginalised, and represented the creation of "Anglo-Welsh literature" (Welsh writing in English) as a concept.
[3] The magazine has been digitised by the Welsh Journals Online project at the National Library of Wales.
