LAUNCH PARTY: New Welsh Review Issue 138

The new New Welsh Review Saturday 13 September, 2-5.30pm Join us at elysium gallery, 210 High Street, Swansea to celebrate the latest issue of New Welsh Review with readings and live music.

We’ll be kicking off with a set from the excellent Swansea band Dark & Twisties at 2pm with readings to follow from issue contributors including Abeer Ameer, Natasha Gauthier, Natalie Ann Holborow, Roberto Pastore and clare e. potter as well as more great music from Ben Wildsmith...
