New Collection Published

My new poetry collection, The Immanent Moment: poems for now, was launched at Garden of Awen, Chapel Arts Centre, Bath, on Sunday 7 February, at a gorgeous event with a fabulous line-up of poets, storytellers & singers. I performed a fifteen minute set on the theme of love. A review described the evening as having '...the atmosphere of a big top, with Kevan Manwaring the Byronic ringmaster holding the reins of a disarmingly eclectic array of talents.' Tasty reviews

Other performances are planned.

Way of Awen weekend

In late Spring, when the bluebells are out, I shall be running a weekend of creativity in the mountains at the magical Cae Mabon, Eric Maddern's eco-retreat centre on bardic mysteries - based on my new book, The Way of Awen, being published in June by O Books. It promises to be a magical, inspiring weekend and places are going fast. See workshops

Writer-in-Residence on the Red Sea

In May I'm going to be Writer-in-Resident at the luxury Red Sea resort of El Gouna in Egypt. I'll be spending the month there working on my desert project, The Burning Path - the fourth in The Windsmith Elegy (I've written the first draft and will be spending the month their knocking it into shape). As part of the residency I'll be giving a reading of my work and donating a copy of the finished book (when published in the autumn) to their library.
