Taliesin








Taliesin is Wales's foremost Welsh language literary periodical, and is published quarterly by the Academy with the support of the Arts Council of Wales. The first issue appeared in 1961 under the editorship of Gwenallt and since then, under the editorship of several other prominent names in the world of Welsh literature, Taliesin has gone from strength to strength. It publishes poems, articles, short stories, essays, reviews and translations into Welsh from other literatures. Nearly all the leading writers of the day feature among the contributors. As a platform for their work, Taliesin may be reckoned among the best literary periodicals ever published in Welsh.

The Editors

Manon Rhys is the first woman to undertake editorship. As a creative writer she has considerable experience ; in 1988 she published a volume of short stories, Cwtsho, followed by two novels, Cysgodion (1993) and Tridiau, ac Angladd Cocrotshen (1996). She has published an adaptation of her father Kitchener Davies's play, Cwm Glo (1994). She also writes for television: her words are often spoken by the inhabitants of Cwmderi in Pobol y Cwm, and she is also responsible for the S4C television series, Y Palmant Aur.
