Nu2: Memorable Firsts Out This Month

Whoop whoop! Nu2: Memorable Firsts comes out this month and I have three poems in it. In fact all three of The Raconteur's editorial team are in the new edition and we have an official launch at Chapter in Cardiff on 13 July 7pm.

Nu2: Memorable Firsts will include poetry and short fiction from Richard Owain Roberts, Darja Ernst, Gareth Hill, Mao Jones, Gary Raymond, Susie Wild, Emily Blewitt, Siôn Tomos Owen, Joao Morais, Tim Evans, Mab Jones and Dylan Moore....

Look at this lovely quote about the first Nu, which I had a short story in...

"Wales really does seem to be harbouring some exponentially talented writers and this anthology collates the newest among them. Reading it reminds you that writing can be dangerous, can be rock 'n' roll, can be sexy. A sumptious mix of prose and poetry rubs shoulders with delicately constructed photo essays, showing that all the best anthologies don't have to stick to just one medium. If this is a sign of the future, us book fans are in for one hell of a time ." - Buzz Magazine

Sea Horse: Happy New Year!

Welcome 2023. I went to the sea and saw a sea horse.

Birthday Treat 2: London for Sierra Ferrell & Nina Hamnett

We had a wonderful trip to London to see the magical unmatchable talent that is Sierra Ferrell in Kentish Town and I also ran off for a sneak peak at Nina Hamnett's wonderful new green room at Tate Britain, getting there early (as the doors opened), I had the room and Nina all to myself. I've long had a fascination with Nina, and my poetry on her has been published in Poetry Wales and been read at events with Celine's Soho Salon at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery. I also featured her in a tour organised with Literature Wales in London many years ago now... and I am currently working on a longer project featuring Nina, her art and her life. The sea, the sea, the sea Is such a salty, magic place If you find yourself goin' under You'll remember the taste The waves, the waves, the waves How they're puttin' out my flame Woah, that's okay, I should be more tame

The New Elysium is Open!

It was an absolute joy to be in Swansea for the opening of the new Elysium Gallery art centre in the city centre, I'm so proud of Jon and Dan and the team who have all worked so hard on this, and over the preceding years and many, many venues... It was lovely to see friends old and new there and nose around the open studios. Do go along and use the cafe, go to events, see the shows... I will be getting involved with some literary things there in the future too... Andre Stitt – Estateless continues at the new space on Belle Vue Way. Music continues at the old venue, now called Down by Here but still programmed by Scott, who is putting on some class acts.
