Roy Campbell was a man who liked to write poems. He grew up in a place called South Africa where there were different rules for different kinds of people. This was called apartheid and it wasn't very fair. Roy didn't like this, so he moved to a different place called Europe where there weren't these rules.
When Roy was writing poems, he used a lot of big words and talked about things that were hard to understand. This made some people think he was very smart, but it also made some people think he was silly.
Roy's poems were about different things like animals, love, and adventures. Some people really liked them and thought they were very good, while others didn't like them at all.
In the end, Roy became famous for his poems and even won some big prizes for them. People may have had different opinions about his poems, but they all agreed that he was a very good poet.
