Gwalia in Khasia

Wild Cherry
One of Wales's leading writers, this posthumous volume brings together a selection of Jenkins' poetry from across his career. Selected and introduced by Wales Book of the Year winner Patrick McGuinness. Nigel Jenkins (1949-2014) was one of Wales's leading writers: a poet and essayist, he was also political activist, a teacher and a mentor. He first came to prominence as one of the Welsh Arts Council's Three Young Anglo-Welsh Poets (1974). In 1976, he was given an Eric Gregory Award by the Society of Authors. This was followed by numerous poetry collections, including Song and Dance (1981), Blue: 101 Haiku, Senryu and Tanka (2002) and Hotel Gwales (2006). His poetry has been translated into French, German, Hungarian, Dutch and Russian, and his translations of modern Welsh poetry have appeared in numerous magazines and anthologies worldwide, including The Bloodaxe Anthology of Modern Welsh Poetry (2003).
Hotel Gwales
Hotel Gwales is the eagerly anticipated new collection from award winning poet Nigel Jenkins. It is as diverse as it is rousing, featuring some eighty poems varying in length from a three-line Haiku to an extended meditation of nearly 400 lines. Welsh themes and references, ancient and modern, are interspersed with works of an undeniably international flavour to bring together this exceptional collection. From a poem commerating the execution of a man known as the Welsh 'Braveheart' to an elegy for a Welsh bus driver, Hotel Gwales truly has something for everyone. Hotel Gwales offers Nigel Jenkins's distinctive voice at its best in his first collection of poetry in almost four years. Nigel is well known both in Wales and internationally and is a frequent performer of his work. He has previously undertaken reading tours of countries including the USA and Switzerland. His trademark experimentation with form and ability to engage with his subject is at its finest.
Plot 29: a Love Affair with Land
Plot 29 is on a London allotment site where people come together to grow. It's just that sometimes what Allan Jenkins grows there, along with marigolds and sorrel, is solace.
