MS: So Long, Farewell

Feb

Dear readers, the time has come for me to take off  my Mslexia blogging hat. The year of blogging as self-appointed literary it-girl for Wales has flown by and now it is time for some other voices to be heard. See Sophie’s exciting news entry below for details on how you could be writing rather than reading this here blog. Please don’t cry. I am not going to disappear. You can follow me on twitter (@soozerama) and also read my soon to be much more regular blogs about both sexes of writer over on ace literary mag The Raconteur.

Wishing you happiness, inspiration and good literati parties. Take care all, Susie x

"Howells confirms the evidence of her first collection, The Language of Bees, that she is a highly adept poet, possessing one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Welsh writing in English." "If West Cross Common is developed for housing, nobody can now claim ignoran...
