happy #independentbookshopweek to #poetrypharmacy where we spent a happy sunday morning launching #Afonydd in #BishopsCastle our only non-Wales event (so far). We had a lovely time in their new performance/workshop space The Lab, with lots of poets reading their own and other peoples poems.

Thank you so much to the poets and publishers of #Afonydd, and everyone who came along to our event yesterday evening!

It was a great event that celebrated the bilingual poems in the collection, each on the theme of Welsh rivers.

Copies are available now!

Great to see this comment piece by @nessowen.bsky.social on @thebookseller.com today. Ness makes the essential case for valuing human #translators, ahead of publication of our bilingual #Afonydd - a feat of Welsh to English and English to Welsh translation. #poetry #poetryintranslation #WalesFocus
