My first venture into publishing in Welsh language has finally come to fruition. Excuse mixed metaphors.

Hedd Wyn, Ei Farddoniaeth is a hardcover book with a laminated cover [I don't l;ike paper dust wrappers that get torn and lost leaving a nondescript looking volume]. It has all the poems that were in the original Cerddi'r Bugail plus others that have been in later paperbacks and a few that Mr Williams, Hedd Wyn's nephew, gave me and which have never been published.

The book is available on Amazon and locally here. It will be officially launched on St David's Day in the village hall in Trawsfynydd opposite the house where HW was born. The event will be from 1pm to 5.30pm, entry is free and there will be snacks and an open mic session where anyone may read in Welsh or English.
