I've just discovered (thanks to Malk Williams on Facebook) that Kandace Siobhan Walker has her debut book of poetry out. It's called Cowboy, and it's available from the Poetry Bookshop.
Kandace has previously written short stories - she won the 4th Estate Guardian Short Story Prize in 2019, and she's a film maker. She also won the White Review Poet's Prize in 2021. She's also included in the book Welsh (Plural): Essays on the Future of Wales, where she talks about her experiences of growing up as a black girl in rural Wales. Although she now lives in South London, her mum still lives near Hay - her mum being Marva Jackson Lord, who runs Griot Arts Ltd., a web design and digital media consultancy.
