BYT: On The Radio/ Dead Poets

April 2010

We made it! 24 hours of poetry (I think I was ‘awake’ for about 40 hours in all, and no dead poets. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Thanks to all who came along! You can listen again to my interview on BBC Radio Wales (21 minutes and 52 seconds in). We were raising money for the Hay Poetry Jamboree.

I am shattered but shall write more soon. Until then you can catch me reading a story at Telling Tales in Cardiff on Sunday 2 May (2pm, Cardiff Arms Cafe, Westgate Street, FREE) and then I’ll be reading poems at Milgi, also in Cardiff, with the Big Fuss residency from 7pm that evening.

Enjoy the sunshine!

For the sheer numbers in the audience (6000+), and national and international press attention The Passion is an ambitious event sure to go down in folklore. Two years in the planning and several months in community build up, National Theatre Wales joined forces with Cornwall’s WildWorks to create a multi-platform delivery of an age-old tale co-directed by local-boy-done-good Michael Sheen and the innovative Bill Mitchell . In this version of The Passion, poet and author Owen S

Announcing Collective

Hi Lovelies, I hope you are being kind to yourselves and each other in these testing times and have managed to jump about in some autumn leaves like I have.
