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.
