Poets Jeremy Dixon and George Sandifer-Smith bring their new collections to Central Library Hub on Thursday 13th October.

Nights Travel At The Right Speed is the debut poetry collection from Welsh poet George Sandifer-Smith. Seeking to explore smaller moments through spaces and objects, this collection shines a light on the art of recollection, how voices change with age, and the seemingly-galactic scope of the single instance – the crackle of tape, the glimpse of Mars through a skylight, the roaring eardrum after a rock & roll concert.

“A hauntingly elegiac collection but one shot through with humour and twists of absurdism.” - Katherine Stansfield

A Voice Coming From Then (Category Winner, Wales Book of The Year 2022) is a powerful and moving collection that starts with Jeremy Dixon’s teenage suicide attempt but moves on to chart the poet's recovery and to encompass themes of bullying, queerphobia, acceptance and support. It also includes unexpected typography, collage, humour, magic, discotheques and frequent appearances from the Victorian demon, Spring-heeled Jack.

"A work of powerful vulnerability and queer resilience, A Voice Coming from Then holds difficult material with tenderness, precision and formal playfulness." - Caleb Parkin

*********************************
Y beirdd Jeremy Dixon a George Sandifer-Smith yn dod â'u casgliadau newydd i Hyb y Llyfrgell Ganolog ddydd Iau 13 Hydref.

Mae enillydd barddoniaeth Llyfr y Flwyddyn 2022 a golygydd yr adolygiadau yn Barddoniaeth Cmyru’n dod â'u casgliadau llawn cyntaf yn fyw. Disgwylier cariad a ffraethineb, gwytnwch cwîar a disgos tywyll, pizza rhamantus, sglodion buddugoliaethus.

Nights Travel At The Right Speed yw casgliad barddoniaeth cyntaf y bardd Cymreig George Sandifer-Smith. Gan geisio archwilio eiliadau llai drwy ofodau a gwrthrychau, mae'r casgliad hwn yn taflu goleuni ar y grefft o atgof, sut mae lleisiau'n newid gydag oedran, a chwmpas ymddangosiadol-alaethol yr un achos – cracio tâp, cipolwg ar y blaned Mawrth trwy ffenestr do, y clustdrwm crwydrol ar ôl cyngerdd roc a rôl.

“A hauntingly elegiac collection but one shot through with humour and twists of absurdism.” - Katherine Stansfield

Mae A Voice Coming From Then (Enillydd, Llyfr y Flwyddyn 2022, Barddoniaeth Saesneg) yn gasgliad pwerus a theimladwy sy'n dechrau gydag ymgais hunanladdiad Jeremy Dixon yn ei arddegau ond yn symud ymlaen i gofnodi adferiad y bardd ac i gwmpasu themâu bwlio, cwîarffobia, derbyn a chefnogi. Mae hefyd yn cynnwys teipograffeg annisgwyl, collage, hiwmor, hud a lledrith, disgos ac ymddangosiadau aml o'r cythraul Fictoraidd, Spring-heeled Jack.
