A Curlew, wader with a long, curved beak wades in shallow water near rocks. Its brown and beige speckled feathers stand out blue background.

My poem 'Curlew Writing' - translated by Cynghanedd master and all-round poetry rock-star, Eurig Salisbury - has been published in Modron, Cymru's foremost ecopoetry journal.


I am indebeted to poet Glyn Edwards, who interviewed me about the poem for Modron, and has also been such a support to my writing generally.


Curlew are red-listed for conservation concern in the UK. Here in North Wales they are not deemed currently sustainable without intensive intervention. In other words, they are on the brink of extinction.


If you like my poem, please consider making a donation to Curlew Action who are doing educational work to raise awareness of the imminent loss of Curlew from our moors and mudflats.


Please also check out the rest of Issue Six of Modron. It's packed with poems, videos, interviews and essays on nature and the ecolcogical crisis.
