Nu2: Memorable Firsts Out This Month




Whoop whoop! Nu2: Memorable Firsts comes out this month and I have three poems in it. In fact all three of The Raconteur's editorial team are in the new edition and we have an official launch at Chapter in Cardiff on 13 July 7pm.
Nu2: Memorable Firsts will include poetry and short fiction from Richard Owain Roberts, Darja Ernst, Gareth Hill, Mao Jones, Gary Raymond, Susie Wild, Emily Blewitt, Siôn Tomos Owen, Joao Morais, Tim Evans, Mab Jones and Dylan Moore....

Look at this lovely quote about the first Nu, which I had a short story in...
"Wales really does seem to be harbouring some exponentially talented writers and this anthology collates the newest among them. Reading it reminds you that writing can be dangerous, can be rock 'n' roll, can be sexy. A sumptious mix of prose and poetry rubs shoulders with delicately constructed photo essays, showing that all the best anthologies don't have to stick to just one medium. If this is a sign of the future, us book fans are in for one hell of a time ." - Buzz Magazine

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...
