Publisher's Synopsis

"I'm Cardiff born and I'm Cardiff bred, And when I die I'll be Cardiff dead" - Frank Hennessy.

Life in the Welsh capital means many things to many people. Frank Hennessy loves it, but others aren't so sure...

Editor Meic Stephens was born at Treforest, near Pontypridd, in 1938. Educated at University College, Aberystwyth, he was a French teacher and journalist before becoming Literature Director of the Welsh Arts Council in 1967. He founded Poetry Wales in 1965 and edited the magazine for eight years. A poet and editor of numerous books, he has become a university lecturer and a literary agent since retiring from the Arts Council. He is the editor of the Oxford Companion to the Literature of Wales (1986) and A Rhondda Anthology (1993), and translator of Gwynfor Evans' autobiography (1996).

Seren

Seren is an independent literary publisher, specialising in English-language writing from Wales. Our prize-winning list has something to offer anyone with an interest in excellent writing. Our aim is not simply to reflect what is going on in the culture in which we publish, but to drive that culture forward, to engage with the world, and to bring Welsh literature, art and politics before a wider audience.Over its thirty year existence Seren has developed into one of the most interesting publishing houses in Britain. Based in Bridgend and aiming primarily to give voice to outstanding writing in the English language from Wales, Seren continues to nurture and publish new talent whose quality is recognized around the world.At the heart of our list is a good story told well or an idea or history presented interestingly or provocatively, what used to be called literary publishing before accountants and managers gained ascendancy. We?re international in authorship and readership though our roots remain here in Wales (seren = star in Welsh) where we prove that writers from a small country with an intricate culture have a worldwide relevance.
