On the Border was created to bring contemporary Welsh poets together with their peers from Elsewhere.

Our intention is to present the finest poets in engaging, powerful and stimulating combinations.

The emphasis is on accessible poetry, inspiring poets and compelling readings - all of which add up to a great night out

If you don't know the world of contemporary poetry, this series promises a rich and entertaining introduction.

If poetry is an old love, there could be no better way to get back in touch.

Join us. Make a date with the extraordinary.
