Poetry
In 2018, Katherine Stansfield was the poet-in-residence at Cornerstone, the neo-Gothic church in the centre of Cardiff converted into an events space. This pamphlet of new poems is the result: the record of a dynamic year of varied events, and an exploration of this fascinating building’s rich history.
Katherine is a poet and novelist. She grew up in Cornwall but now lives in Cardiff. Her debut poetry collection, Playing House, was published by Seren. Her second collection, We Could Be Anywhere By Now, appears from Seren in 2020. Katherine Stansfield teaches for the Open University, and is the Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Cardiff University.
The Seren Cornerstone Poetry Festival, presenting some of the finest poets of the day, takes place each February in the Cornerstone venue in Cardiff – www.cardiffpoetryfestival.com
