After last month's success with the Woodland Tea Party Sessions, The Folk Collective is back for the month of May presenting the 'Tea Party Poets'

An evening of acoustic music and poetry with the relaxed atmosphere of the beautiful Kama Lounge in Newport. There'll be cakes and cocktails, candles and incense and generally ace vibes for all who attend :D (and for any that don't too, you just may miss out on the cake! And who wants to miss out on cake?)

Joining us for the evening we have:

Kai Lena - Pixie hosting and giving some tunage. www.myspace.com/kailenamusic


Susie Wild -Susie is a multi talented individual, from journalist to film maker, to festival organiser to spoken work artist. She joins us with some poetry to entertain all you wonderful people www.myspace.com/soozerama


Rhian Edwards - local to south Wales, Rhian's poetry reflects her entanglement with musical rhythm. Her poems explore her sensual wit and chronicle relationships young and old and personal portraits. She will also have her good old ukelele at hand to give a musical element to her performance. Not to be missed!http://www.myspace.com/rhianedwards


Molly Zacharias - Molly is an expressive singer and guitar player with a voice that twists around her words in a beautiful fashion. She is busy recording in the mountains at the moment but will be with us on 8th to give us some songs and adapted poetry. http://www.myspace.com/mollydoesfolly


Mab Jones- Mab Jones is a Cardiff-born poet, comic, writer, and performer, under the umbrella title of "spoken word artist" Funny and touching by turns, Mab’s performance work veers from the delightfully playful to the outrageously naughty; meanders cleverly through subjects social, amorous, irreverent, and relevant; is witty, satirical, dark at times, but always lively and infused with a sparkly sense of fun. .www.mabjones.com

Cardiff Writer's Circle: Annual Short Story Competition

It was a joy to return to Cardiff Writers' Circle to judge their annual Short Story Competition ...  Congratulations all! Here's their round up of the night: Throwback to Monday 23rd June, when we were thrilled to have 12 attendees join us for the Adjudication Event of our annual Short Story C ompetition - the winner and runners-up were announced, received their prizes, and graciously allowed pics to be taken for posterity! A huge round of applause goes to our winner, Gordon Harrop, who is fresh to CWC competitions. Gordon's winning entry served up some diabolical black humour, with a dark twist. Congratulations Gordon, and thank you for submitting such an entertaining and well-written piece! Gordon was joined on the podium by two of our long-standing members, Steve Pritchard and Angela Edwards Rigby, who are no strangers to receiving CWC awards and prizes. It was wonderful to hear their competition entries - Steve's story a page-turning "will-they-won't-they...

BOOK REVIEW: 'It deserves to be read far more widely.'

In her engaging review essay 'Fantastical Doubles and Split Selves' in the latest issue of New Welsh Review , author of The Word, JL George, looks at responses to trauma in three recent novels including Fox Bites by Lloyd Markham . Here are three of our favourite snippets: ‘Lloyd Markham’s first full-length novel Fox Bites , set in early-2000s Zimbabwe, takes a similar tack, colliding social upheaval – as viewed through the sometimes-uncomprehending eyes of a young, neurodivergent boy – with smaller, more personal disruptions. The young protagonist, Taban, suffers bullying and isolation among his peers after his family splits apart: his aunt, uncle, and beloved cousin Caleb moving away to a farm which will later be seized during land reforms.’ ‘Taban must resist the temptation to become part of a cycle of abuse, thereby becoming a conduit for the destruction of his world. Although the stakes of the book eventually become world-threatening in the expected way of science fiction...
