Coracle Europe Fringe 2025 - Carmarthen

Image
 It has been an absolute pleasure to work with write4word and deliver the annual Coracle Europe Fringe 2025.  From workshops to book launches, live readings to recorded poetry and film, the language arts community in Carmarthen and the surrounding area really shone, with visitors and contributers not only from Wales, but also Canada, Ireland, USA, New Zealand, India, Sweden and Czechia.  More Coracle World than Coracle Europe!  Massive thanks must also go to organisations we partnered with, including Criwdem Celf, People Speak Up, Local Motion and Cwrw Bar.  I look forward to more collaborations in the future...

Hi everyone, It's been a while, and apologies for the radio silence here, but I've been working on something very special behind the scenes.  My debut book, 'The Edge of Everything', is to be published next week with The H'mm Foundation.  It's a pinch me moment for sure!
