I have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize!

 Oh my days, November was a month of gifts.  Firstly, the Nigel Jenkins Award, then a distinction for my MA Creative Writing at Swansea University, and now this - MODRON have nominated me for the Pushcart Prize!  It was such an honour to have been published by them in the first place - in a magazine so beautifully vital right now - but for them to have nominated me is an absolute dream.  A humbling dream.  An exciting dream.  Thank you, thank you.  I am so grateful.

Writing about my garden for Studio Cennen

Image
I was recently asked to create a short piece (see below) about my garden and my children for Studio Cennen, a beautiful art gallery in Llandeilo. Check out their current exhibition entitled Body : Stitch : Soul : Grow which is on until 30th July 2022. Further information can be found on their website https://studiocennen.com/ or on Instagram @studiocennen. Each afternoon, when the midday sun is at its highest and the top of the garden is partly in the shade of the ash, we venture barefoot to the old cherry tree.  In the later years of its life,  green leaves umbrella rough bark and is the perfect place to hang our bird feeders.  We have three.  My young children fill the seed holder first using doidy cups and, whilst most goes in, a spray of bouncing seeds scatter the ground, perfect for the larger birds.  My children take it in turns to drop in two fat balls each, then the suet block, and we hang them from a stunted branch.   We then check on the vegetables and recite their names

I am a Nigel Jenkins Award Winner 2023!

Image
I am so incredibly happy to be able to share the news that I have been awarded the Nigel Jenkins Award for Creative Writing, in partnership with Swansea University MA programme and the H'mm Foundation, both of which the late great Nigel Jenkins helped to set up.  What an absolute honour it was to stand up at the book launch of Nigel's posthumous poetry anthology launch 'Wild Cherry' last week and read from my dissertation in front of a full gathering.  Next month I shall be awarded this prestigious trophy at another event in Swansea, the book launch of last year's winner Gaynor Funnell.  I am a humble, excitable bubble!  Image is used with thanks to Swansea University Cultural Institute.
