Yesterday saw the release of the second part of MODRON issue 1. We are delighted to add to the issue poems by Deryn Rees-Jones, Durre Shahwar, Zoë Skoulding, and Grug Muse writing in Cymraeg. Also look out for our films page with Taz Rahman interviewing Anthony Vahni Capildeo and the video of our launch on the 2nd October 2022.
