It's the final week of my solo exhibition #LiarLiar at Aberystwyth Arts Centre on until 5pm Sunday 15th June.
Or, the next best thing is this talk with #FfionRhys, big thanks to #CultureColony for making it coherent -

On the left of the screen a man with short hair and a blue shirt is gesticulating in speech. He is looking to the right at a woman with glasses and straight auburn hair who is looking into the shot in profile. A gallery installation. With white walls and a grey floor a strip of carpet runs away from our viewpoint towards the corner of the room. On the right is a projection screen, painted pink with an image on it. To the left, facing it, a wooden structure with four more screens mounted on the front. The lighting is low.

This launches tonight - Folding Rock 001: Roots | 6 March 2025. Llongyfarchiadau all @foldingrockmag.bsky.social ! My piece #SometimesWeSpeak is a dad/son two hander. It's packed with good writing, elegantly typeset, edited with care. I'm in in very good hands. Go buy one!

Thought I’d drop this here.

Posted @withregram • @parthian_books - A Dictionary of Light is here!

The Rhys Davies Short Story Award Anthology brings together twelve bold, tender, brilliant stories. Join us next Wednesday 27/11, 6pm at @swanseastones for the launch of this wonderful collection.
A stack of paperbacks viewed from above, one rests on the top of the pile at an angle. The book has a pale cover with a green photo in the centre alongside the title: A Dictionary of Light.

It's been some time since I woke up with a club-stamp AND full recollection - 1 week ago today I was very happy to be interviewed by the amazing @sanagoyalkotecha.bsky.social - part of #grantabooks & @serpents-tail.bsky.social debut showcase (publication 13/03/25). I look verrry serious here...
An image of my wrist and closed hand in morning light resting on a white cotton sheet (hotel bed) with a smudged club stamp of a bird, the morning after. A small stage with two seated people with microphones. On the left a white man with short hair and a blue shirt is talking. He looks serious, in that moment. On the right is the interviewer who is listening, a brown woman in a blue checked dress with long hair.
