An evening of poetry to launch Sophie McKeand’s latest pamphlet Hanes: a collection of performance and written poems that metamorphose across Y Gogledd Cymru and through the landscapes of the mind.
This limited-edition, hand/stitched pamphlet brings together new work as well as pieces previously published in the likes of Dark Mountain and Poetry Wales.
We’ll also have readings from Stephanie Finegan and Voicebox’s Tim Humphreys to make a proper poetry party of it all!

“Sophie writes poems in which strange, old, true things are forced into contact with the present. They twist and turn and you never get quite what you expect from them, which is what gives them their power… some of the most interesting poems I’ve read in a long while. Genuinely original.”
Paul Kingsnorth
“An allusive, restless sensibility turned outwards to the world; her words have heft, they grasp their way out of poetry into landscape.”
Jay Griffiths
“Sophie McKeand embodies her poems in performance, the words flying off the page and flashing like fireflies. The effect is mesmerising and visceral.”
