Alun Lewis and Welsh War Poetry at the David Jones Centre’s 4th Annual Conference

Aberystwyth University is no stranger to Alun Lewis; when Alun was 17 years old he won a scholarship to study History there and now, in the year of the centenary of his birth, he’s returning to the place where he spent his years as an undergraduate student.
The David Jones Centre at Aberystwyth University supports research on the history and impact of Modernism in Wales. The Centre hosts an annual conference and this year, it’s 4th, the subject is none other than Alun himself: Alun Lewis and Welsh War Poetry.
The one day conference will be held at Y Drwm in the National Library of Wales on Wednesday 23rd September and all are welcome! The event will include papers by Alan Vaughan Jones, Peter Morgan, Nerys Williams and a keynote address by Lewis biographer, John Pikoulis whose latest book, Alun, Gweno & Freda is currently available to order from our website.
Tickets are £15 (£8 for students) and can be booked here or by calling: 01970 632548.
