A welcoming and intimate poetry night at Bar St James, co-hosted by Owen Sheers, Guinevere Clark and CJ Wagstaff.

Taz Rahman will be March’s guest poet, with open mic support from Swansea University students and established community poets.

Taz Rahman was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature’s Jerwood Poetry Prize 2024. His debut poetry collection ‘East of the Sun, West of the Moon’ published by Seren Books, was longlisted for the Laurel Prize and he was also shortlisted for the Aesthetica Writing Award in 2022. He founded Wales’ first Youtube poetry channel Just Another Poet to widen access to published poets.
