Rhian’s Parade the Fib (tall-lighthouse, 2008) was awarded the Poetry Book Society pamphlet choice for autumn 2008. Her collection of poems Clueless Dogs has been shortlisted for Wales Book of the Year 2013.
Rhian Edwards is a poet and singer-song writer and her poetry reflects her entanglement with musical rhythm. Rhian only started writing poetry in 2003 and has since delivered over 200 stage, radio and festival performances world-wide.
Rhian’s poems bristle with sensual wit, chronicling relationships young and old, personal portraits and the minutiae of life as we live it.
Reviews:
"Astounding Welsh poet with performances that get you in the emotional gut...” - Ian McMillan, The Verb - Radio 3
"…Rhian Edwards makes the language sing and dance. Join her campaign for the liberation of poetry from all that is dry, stuffy, insincere and boring..." - Christopher Reid
“…The unique voice lies in the music of the language, a distinctly un-English sound, often in a minor key, elegiac but with unexpected leaps of the imagination. Against a Celtic bass-line, she sets her own modern turn of phrase and sense of humour…” - Hugo Williams
