2022 was a bumper year for publications for me. Below are my anthologies of 2022.

Above: Land of Change anthology is a vibrant collection of writing and art from Wales today, published by Culture Matters. Featuring one of my paintings and a piece of prose, the collection is a political and social commentary, an empowering read. Ed. by Gemma June Howell.

Above: I was so pleased to hear that I’d made the longlist for the Dai Fry Mystical Poetry competition. The subsequent anthology of winners is compiled in the collection Sun-Tipped Pillars of Our Hearts from Black Bough Poetry, a fitting tribute to a fine Welsh poet and a friend to many.

Above: I’m so pleased to have a poem in this powerhouse of an anthology of Welsh writing in English. Published by Culture Matters, edited by Welsh poetry legend Mike Jenkins.

Above: I couldn’t believe my luck when I heard that my first short story would be published in this brilliant collection of writing from Wales’ best female crime writers. Published by the fine people at Honno, with huge thanks to editors Katherine Stansfield and Caroline Oakley.

Above: Me, reading at the launch of A470 in Cardiff Library which was the first in-person reading at the library since the pandemic began. It was good to be back!

I have a poem about my Art College days in the collection ‘A470: Poems for the Road,’ the first bilingual anthology of poetry from Arachne Press. And what a collection it is! A road that stretches the length of Wales must have as many tales to tell as passengers upon it. In these pages, writers reveal snatches of their lives, their preoccupations and their view, as they travel from Cardiff to Llandudno and everywhere in between.
