overview
We are producing this anthology of new writings with Parthian Books. It will be ready for the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, November 2021, and retail at £9.99 (tbc).
Gorwelion is Welsh for ‘horizons’. It consists of five original contributions from Indian authors, two from Scotland, and nine from Wales.
This is being achieved by a momentous effort during the worst of the Covid19 pandemic.
It is produced because of the generosity of our supporters, Merryn Hutchings and Christine Eynon. There is an excellent chance of a second volume of original writings being produced if this publication works well.
The Green Room event will be hosted by Robert Minhinnick and features Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch and Phil Cope. The usual open mic returns at this event.
Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch is a poet whose work has been shortlisted for the Michael Marks Award (2014), the Roland Mathias Prize (2013) and Wales Book of the Year (2009). Samantha has taught Creative Writing on the MSt. at Oxford University and on the MA programme at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David where she was awarded a PhD in Creative Writing in 2019.
Phil Cope is a photographer, writer, teacher, and cultural exhibition designer whose subjects have included the footballer John Charles, Paul Robeson and Wales and the Spanish Civil War. He was Head of Drama, and Deputy Head of English in the Welsh Joint Education Committee. He has published Borderlands (2013) and the Holy Wells series which includes: Holy Wells: Wales (2008), Holy Wells: Cornwall (2010), Holy Wells: Scotland (2015) and The Living Wells of Wales (2019).
