Šimon Leitgeb and Carwyn Eckley

Poems and conversation with two young poets from the same generation — one from Bohemia, one from the Nantlle Valley. Šimon Leitgeb from České Budějovice is one of the most exciting voices in Czech poetry today, winner of the Jiří Orten Award in 2021 and translated into nine languages. Carwyn Eckley from Pen-y-groes is the Chaired Bard at the 2024 National Eisteddfod in Pontypridd, and his debut collection Trochi is shortlisted for the 2026 Wales Book of the Year. Organised by Literature Across Frontiers with support from the Arts Council of Wales
