MARTIN
DAWS
Born in
Surrey
in 1969, the many
environ-
ments in
which he’s
lived provide
the back drop to his work; from suburbs to
inner cities and mountain villages. In his poetry the tongues of London
and New York might speak in dialogue with double bass to articulate the lines
of a Welsh mountain. Martin curates
POETica, a spoken word and live literature event in Bangor which
toured to Dinefwr Literature Festival.
