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.

Rhian’s pamphlet Parade the Fib (tall-lighthouse, 2008) was awarded the Poetry Book Society pamphlet choice for autumn 2008.

Reviews:

"…Astounding Welsh poet with performances that get you in the emotional gut...” Ian McMillan, The Verb - Radio 3
