Photo Blog: Dylan's Birthday

On 27 October, I celebrated both Dylan's Birthday and my Swansea book launch at the Dylan Thomas Birthplace in dear Swansea, reading poems from Better Houses to a lovely, receptive audience and then sleeping in Dylan's boyhood bed afterwards. It was a gorgeous gig – thanks for booking me, the accommodation and the wine Geoff Haden! – and I'm dead happy to have been there. Great to hear from Uplands' urban sketcher Bill Bytheway too!

Here are some snaps:
