A Circle of Sonnets and a great deal more

Written and published by Swansea & District Writer’s’ Circle, this substantial book is so much more than a Poetry Anthology. It is that of course, but it’s also informative, entertaining, and – dare I say it – educational. You may be amazed at the talent displayed here. An ideal Christmas present! Available on Amazon in Paperback and Kindle versions.

Whatever your taste in poetry, from Pam Ayres to Milton, Villanelles to Limericks, we hope you’ll find something here that will inform you, surprise you, challenge you, or simply entertain you.

The poetry forms included in this little book do not comprise an exhaustive list, but it’s a start. Following some information about each poetic form, you will find examples written by members of the SDWC Poetry Group. Some of these poems are difficult to categorise, but we have done our best – and if nothing else, may stimulate lively debate!”

Change: An Anthology

This short collection is the third of a successful series of anthologies which began with Unforgotten in 2014. Partly inspired by the events of the 2020 pandemic, it distils the best of the creative thought from that year about change of all kinds.

Unforgotten: The Great War 1914-1918

Today’s world owes an enormous debt of gratitude to the many millions who died for our freedom during the First World War. Unforgotten is a collection of World War One poems and short stories told from many different viewpoints. As descendants of those soldiers, we owe it to them to tell their stories.

Dark Gathering: An Anthology

Garage 54 and Other Stories
