WELCOME in the spring – at last – with an evening of subtle, powerful, visceral wordsmithery from several award winning poets, interwoven with stunning live music.

Spring on the Horizon is a unique collaboration with leading poets and the acclaimed cellist Daniel Davies, who will play a range of short pieces, both improvised and classical.

Originally scheduled for 1 March, but postponed because of the effects of the Beast from the East, the event is now on Thursday, 19 April, at 7.30pm in Neuadd y Dderwen, Rhosygilwen.

Cellist Daniel Davies studied at both the Royal College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. He maintains a busy teaching practice in west Wales and also performs solo recitals, concerto performances, improvisation and composition projects and chamber music.

There will be four poets to share a variety of their work on the night.

Paul Steffan Jones, who was born in Cardigan, writes in both Welsh and English. He has two poetry collections published by Starborn Books, Lull of The Bull and The Trigger-Happiness. He was winner of the 2012 West Coast Eisteddfod Online Poetry Competition.

Maggie Harris, who comes originally from Guyana, has won The Guyana Prize for Literature, is Caribbean Winner of the Commonwealth Short Story Prize, and winner of the Kent University TS Eliot Poetry Prize.
