As part of our St David’s Day weekend, we welcome special guest Welsh poet Jonathan Edwards to our Poetry Reading. Jonathan’s 2014 collection My Family and Other Superheroes won the Costa Poetry Award. It also received the Wales Book of the Year People’s Choice Award - as did his 2018 collection Gen. Jonathan is a Literature Wales mentor of emerging writers and a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Cardiff University.

Jonathan will help us reflect on Cynefin - the Welsh word that encompasses a sense of rootedness. His own roots are in South Wales. Jonathan will be supported by those based closer to home - local poets who have been exploring the concept of Cynefin in a Cathedral poetry workshop.

Price: £5.00

Time: 6:00pm (6pm-7.15pm)

Chester Cathedral, Café 1092 in the Refectory
