PEN Cymru Poetry Event with Menna Elfyn, Susie Wild, Philip Gross, Mab Jones & Luca Paci

I'm looking forward to reading with some splendid poets in Penarth next month: PEN Cymru Poetry Event with Menna Elfyn, Susie Wild, Philip Gross, Mab Jones & Luca Paci

Sun 26th February 2023. 2-4pm, Turner House, Penarth as part of Luca Paci and Chris Glynn's Self Help exhibition.

Menna Elfyn will be joined by Susie Wild and local poets Philip Gross, Mab Jones and Luca Paci to explore self-help, islands, and collaboration. Menna Elfyn is an award winning poet and playwright from Wales who writes in Welsh but whose work has been translated into over eighteen languages. She is also the chair of PEN Cymru. PEN promotes literature and defends freedom of expression across the globe.

Penarth neighbours: Illustrator Chris Glynn and poet Luca Paci unpack their touring exhibition of texts and images, book hacks and music, to explore creative collaboration, friendship, and the idea of self-help. The event centres around characters shipwrecked on the imaginary Self-Help Island.
