1. Books

From September 2012 to the end of August 2015, I worked as one of the team on the Leverhulme Trust-funded research project 'Devolved Voices: Welsh Poetry in English since 1997' in Aberystwyth University's Department of English & Creative Writing. As part of this project, I have been writing a full-length study of eight poets who have established themselves in the post-1997 period. The bulk of this material has initially been presented as a series of public lectures.

Away from work produced for the 'Devolved Voices' project, I am also putting together a volume of my selected and new essays for Welsh publisher Parthian.

2. Editing

Having recently published the edited volumes Devolutionary Readings: English-Language Poetry and Contemporary Wales (Peter Lang, 2017) and Wired to the Dynamo: Poetry and Prose in Honour of John Barnie (Cinnamon, 2018), my primary editorial focus is currently on leading the editorial team of the University of Wales Press International Journal of Welsh Writing in English.

However, I am also in the earliest planning stages of potential edited volumes on: Wales Studies; contemporary British and Irish poetry; and the work of a leading scholar in the field of Welsh writing in English.

3. Essays

Much of my work in recent years has been focused on book-length material or journal editing. However, I am delighted to have written an essay called 'In and out of the nation: Poetry Wales in the 1960s and 1970s' for the Cambridge University Press volume British Literature in Transition, 1960-1980, edited by Kate McLoughlin (Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford). This will be published in 2018.
