Delighted to have made it to the longlist for the Outspoken Press Emerging Poets Scheme 24-25, many thanks to Anthony Anaxagorou and Sandeep Parmar. It's a year long scheme with two writers from 'The North' and two others. Best of luck to the recipients.
Its a bit of a way off yet, but really pleased to be on Cardiff Library Service authors talk programme this year, with a poetry talk and reading in early October, at my nearest library Rhiwbeina Hyb.
More details to follow.
Wonderful writing weekend away at St Davids, West Wales. Swam in the sea everyday, despite the drizzle, and walked the coastal path from St Non’s Well.
Workshops facilitated by the generous Claire Syder, fantastic company too.
Exciting news today. I have been accepted on the Spring Masterclass 2023 at Ty Newydd Writing Centre, run by Literature Wales. This year the class is hosted by Gillian Clarke and Carol Ann Duffy (2 previous poet laureates). One of twelve poets, I will be taking part in the week long residential, at the end of May. Time to stock up on new notepads!
