Join us this Sunday 30th November at Cegin Diod, located in Yr Hen Farchnad on Carmarthen Street, Llandeilo from 2.30pm, 3pm for the readings. Please think of booking your ticket in advance so we have an idea of numbers: Booking Link.
This November, we gather to celebrate emerging voices whose work speaks powerfully to the world we live in: its griefs, renewals, and enduring capacity for hope.
Our role in this event is to celebrate new writing in Wales as we are keen to platform Welsh writers like Abeer Ameer, whose poem in Modron won the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem (Written) this year — a work of compassion and courage that bears witness to the genocide in Gaza and reminds us of poetry’s power to hold truth in the face of loss. Thanks so much to the Forward Foundation and to Neo Gilder for the photograph of Abeer winning her award.
Alongside Abeer is Rhiannon Fielder-Hobbs, named a Poet to Watch by Poetry Wales, who joins us with poems exploring nature, family, and spirituality. Her earlier piece for Modron reflected on mental health and the natural world, tracing the fragile connections between inner life and the earth’s resilience.
Together, their words open conversations between witness and renewal, care and imagination. We’ll also have quick readings from other new Welsh poets.
So join Modron Magazine, Poetry Wales and our friends at Noisy Newt Books for an afternoon of poetry and reflection at Cegin Diod, in the heart of Llandeilo’s Market Hall.
☕ Arrive from 2.30 PM to share tea and cake (available for purchase) before the readings begin at 3 PM.
🎟️ £4 per person or free for Poetry Wales subscribers — proceeds directly support Noisy Newt Books and writers.
Come to listen, to bear witness, and to celebrate new voices shaping the poetry of our time.
