Anthology Alert ~ Orizont Literar Contemporan Antologia from Romania

Editor-in-chief Daniel Dragomirecu

My copy of the Antologia for Orizont Literar Contemporan | Contemporary Literary Horizon arrived today from Romania. This publication opens with a sequence of poems by Peter Thabit Jones, editor of The Seventh Quarry, from Wales. It also features my interview with Martin Locock, editor of the new anthology, Poetry from Strata Florida, produced by Carreg Ffylfan Press (2014). 

I am grateful to Iulia Andreea Anghel at the University of Bucharest for her translation, '1 Mai: Zmeu Roşu în Strata Florida', of my poem, '1st May: Red Kite at Strata Florida'. 

Anthology Alert ~ Launch of 'Poetry from Strata Florida' at Poets and Princes Day

If you are within reach of Strata Florida / Ystrad Fflur in mid-Wales, do come and enjoy the 'Poets and Princes' day, laid on by CADW and the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies on 14 September.

A number of us will be reading our poems at 2pm, during the launch event for the new anthology (cover below, editor Martin Locock of Carreg Ffylfan Press). As you can see from the poster, there will also be sessions on princes, poets, pottery, printing and food! Martin will be leading guided tours around this special site ... and you may even see a Red Kite or two.
