We’re thrilled to let you know that Christian Donovan won our Great Welsh Icon poetry competition with her poem,’ I Iolo Morganwg – wordsmith, con artist’. You can read her poem and the other great entries in our online poetry gallery.

You can hear Christian reading her poem in the first episode of a new Poetry Podcast series, coming from the old book room here.

Each episode features a great poem, and then we discuss why the poem is great and other ideas it sparks from us. We chat from three different points of views: those of poet Mark Lewis, bookseller and writer Lorna Lee, and psychologist Philippa Davies.

If you’ve any suggestions for a great poem you’d like us to consider, then please just send over here, or on insta/fbook messaging.

Thank you a Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus i chi! May it be bardic.
