Cheval 10

A fitting tribute to the memory of radical Welsh poet Terry Hetherington...gives young writers in Wales a wonderful opportunity for recognition' - Mike Jenkins At the age of 65, a retired demolition worker fulfills his lifetime ambition of conducting an orchestra. The artist Cezanne completes a portrait of a friend, in a story which is a moving meditation on the nature of companionship and creativity. A poet constructs a powerful elegy and a reflection on his craft by making his subject nothing more than a simple pen and pencil. Cheval 10 contains a selection of the best work submitted this year to the Terry Hetherington Award, which has become known as one of the most significant awards for young writers in Wales. What these pages add up to is a thrilling representation of where new Welsh writing is now.
