I'm looking forward to reading with some splendid poets in Penarth next month: PEN Cymru Poetry Event with Menna Elfyn, Susie Wild, Philip Gross, Mab Jones & Luca Paci

Sun 26th February 2023. 2-4pm, Turner House, Penarth as part of Luca Paci and Chris Glynn's Self Help exhibition.
Menna Elfyn will be joined by Susie Wild and local poets Philip Gross, Mab Jones and Luca Paci to explore self-help, islands, and collaboration. Menna Elfyn is an award winning poet and playwright from Wales who writes in Welsh but whose work has been translated into over eighteen languages. She is also the chair of PEN Cymru. PEN promotes literature and defends freedom of expression across the globe.
Penarth neighbours: Illustrator Chris Glynn and poet Luca Paci unpack their touring exhibition of texts and images, book hacks and music, to explore creative collaboration, friendship, and the idea of self-help. The event centres around characters shipwrecked on the imaginary Self-Help Island.

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.
