We had a wonderful evening reflecting on the essays in ‘The Waters That Raised Us’ at @ffotogallery in Cardiff a few months ago. We were joined by contributors @tayloredmonds, @kathrynellentann, @cjwagstaff1, @moedwards_, @sofia_brizio and @joshuajoneswrites who read from their work and answered questions from the audience. If you’re yet to get your copy of this important anthology, you can find it in your local bookshop!

We’re delighted that @bethanyhandley_ won an Eric Gregory Award for her poetry pamphlet ‘Cling Film’!

Back in March we had a fantastic time celebrating publication of ‘Muslim Wales’ by @azimwales with an event at Cardiff University. Talking to @hananelizabethissa, he shared fascinating insights into the research underpinning his book in front of a packed lecture theatre. Thank you to Hana Zaman for capturing these snapshots of the event and to everyone who joined us! The event was also supported by @muslimwales. The book is available now from bookshops across Wales and beyond!

We’re over the moon that @maggiepoet has been named winner of the #JhalakPoetryPrize 2026 for her collection ‘I Sing to the Greenhearts’. In the words of our poetry co-editors, “This vivid, powerful collection deserves this recognition... We’re proud to have published it and of Maggie’s connection to Wales.” Maggie’s book is available in bookshops and on our website!
