VoicesontheBridge on Wednesday 26th October 2022 starts 6.30pm – @StoryvilleBooks, 8 Mill Street Pontypridd

Taz Rahman will be reading from his first poetry collection which is forthcoming in February 2024 from Seren Books. He has been published in Poetry Wales, Bad Lilies, South Bank Poetry, Anthropocene, Honest Ulsterman, Nation Cymru, Culture Matters and in various anthologies. He was one of the judges for the 2021 Poetry Wales Pamphlet Competition. In 2021, he was also awarded a place in the Literature Wales writer development programme ‘Representing Wales’, and was mentored by Poetry Wales editor Zoe Brigley. Having spent the vast majority of his life in Cardiff, his writing takes much inspiration from the natural world and stories found between the rivers Taff and Ely. He founded the YouTube poetry channel ‘Just Another Poet’ in 2019, which won a Books Council Wales ‘New Audience Creation’ commission in 2022.

Poets Patrick Jones, clare e. potter, Nick McGaughey, Mike McNamara, Alix Edwards, Pete Ak, & Rob Cullen will be reading their work.

This event is hosted by StoryvilleBooks and organised by Rob Cullen.
