Personal profile

Research interests

Poetry of the Middle Ages, especially Guto'r Glyn and poets of Oswestry, and poetry of the Early Modern Period. I am currently working towards compiling an edition of the work of Huw Morys (1622–1709).

Profile

I came to Aberystwyth as a student in 2001 and graduated in Welsh and Film and Television Studies in 2004. I remained in the Welsh Department to gain an MPhil degree on the early work of Guto'r Glyn (2006).

In 2006, I won the Chair competition at the National Urdd Eisteddfod in Denbighshire, and was also appointed research fellow at the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies, Aberystwyth. I spent nine happy years at the Centre and contributed to three innovative projects on medieval Welsh literature (see the section on 'Research'). I'm a published author (Llyfr Glas Eurig, 2008; Sgrwtsh!, 2011).

I was appointed Bardd Plant Cymru (Welsh Children's Laureate) 2011-13, and was the first to hold the post for two years. As well as undertaking a wide variety of different literature-based activities across the country, from school workshops to literature festivals to stomp and slam competitions, I have tutored young writers at the Tŷ Newydd Writing Centre and was one of the Welsh-language judges for Wales Book of the Year 2014. In 2023, I was appointed the first Bardd Tref/Town Poet of Aberystwyth, a post I held for two years.

I've worked closely with the Hay Festival, British Council and Wales Arts International on a number of literary projects and have taken part in festivals in India, Bangladesh, Colombia, Kenya and a host of European countries. I was one of the Hay Festival's International Fellows 2012-13. My work has been translated into a number of languages, including Bangla, Malayalam and Italian.
