It was very fast-paced! The Beyond The Borders storytellers appeared to have a lot of fun with it. If I ever do it again, I'll opt to do something creative methinks.

Also I've only just noticed that Beyond The Borders and Dinefwr festivals fall on the same weekend #sillyliteraryclash

The More Than Human Perspective in Environmental Poetry: A Poem and Interview with Susie Wild

Interview by Zoë Brigley Welcome back to our series on writing the #MoreThanHuman. We offer a set of interviews with poets and writers on how they approach writing about the environment.

She tells us she lives in Rhondda Fach “with a TBR pile almost as high as Llanwonno”.
