parthianbooks.com/collections/poetry/products/that-lone-ship Anthology of Young Welsh Poets
15/9/2020
Bit late posting about this, but three of my poems were translated into Greek over the summer for this anthology of Welsh poets from YoungPoets.eu and Wales Literature Exchange, published by Vakxikon. Chuffed to be included alongside these names, and also to learn that my name in Greek is Ρις Οουάιν Γουίλιαμς. All the poems in the anthology are printed in their original language (Welsh or English) alongside Greek translations. You can purchase a copy of the book, and also learn more about the project and the poets involved, on the Young Poets website: youngpoets.eu/en/anthology-of-young-welsh-poets
#TheSealeychallenge
4/9/2020
Throughout August I took part in #TheSealeyChallenge – a reading challenge where participants read a book of poems a day during the month of August, and share their picks on social media to promote the poets/the reading of poetry. There's some good quotes about the challenge from founder Nicole Sealey in this Electric Lit article.
As a slow reader I’m lucky if I get through 31 books in a year, so for my first attempt at the challenge I chose to revisit 31 single poems instead – all favourites from collections and pamphlets I’ve recently read/re-read. Hats off to those reading entire collections, because I fell behind a few times during the month. It's been great to revisit poems though – you can see all my picks on this Twitter thread.

30/5/2020
Thrilled to have a recording of my poem 'The Search Party' included on the latest episode of the brilliant Unlatched Podcast. Thanks to Amy Hodkin for choosing it, and giving it a really lovely intro.
Unlatched has been a very welcome 30-min distraction for me during the COVID-19 lockdown, and I really recommend giving them a listen. You can find the episode I'm featured on here or by searching 'Unlatched Podcast' on your podcast app. If you’re looking for something to read during lockdown, Atlanta Review have made their latest issue – dedicated to poets from Cornwall and Wales – free to download from their website.
Great to see my poem ‘Gull’ published alongside poems from many friends and familiar names. You can find the issue here: atlantareview.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Atlanta-Review-Spring-2020-04.30.20.pdf |
