Gerwyn Wiliams
"This is the first post-nationalist novel," Dafydd Elis-Thomas on Rhaid i Bopeth Newid.
"One of the clearest public poetic voices of his generation," Emyr Lewis
"An unequalled satirist,” John Gruffydd Jones.
“He sees through the deception and falseness of urban media life better than anyone, and he’s scathing in his vision of the emptiness of city existence...this poet has sufficient mastery of language to disturb and reach the roots of the soul.” Alan Llwyd.
"Poems which brilliantly describe Welsh life in the capital." Peter Finch.
“There’s a new world-view on our everyday lives here, overloaded with memorable images and phrases,” Menna Elfyn.

Poet, editor and literary critic, born in 1964 and brought up in the former coal mining village of Coedpoeth near Wrexham in north east Wales.
