…I was in the Western Mail Week End magazine.

Poet scoops new award; A new award in memory of the poet and writer Nigel Jenkins has been launched in Swansea,.


Byline: writes Jenny White..
THE inaugural winner of the Nigel Jenkins Literary Award has been announced.
Anthony Heald, a student at the creative writing MA programme at Swansea University, receives a specially-commissioned trophy and the opportunity to have work published.
The award has been created in memory of Nigel Jenkins, pictured, a renowned poet and writer who taught at Swansea University. It's run by the H'mm Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation founded by Cardiff-based businessman Ali Anwar with the aim of raising the profile of poets and poetry in people's lives.
Anwar was a great friend of Jenkins and wanted to create an award that would keep his memory alive at Swansea University, where he taught. The award is open to students on the MA creative writing course and goes to the person with the highest score in the end of year exam - the H'mm Foundation will publish work by the winner.
Swansea University creative writing MA student Anthony Heald, winner of the award, said: "Receiving this award established in Nigel Jenkins' memory has made me feel even more of an imposter than I did when I heard I had been nominated to receive it from among so many excellent writers that I worked alongside on the Swansea University MA course that Nigel co-founded.
"Personal circumstances meant that I ended up taking far longer to complete the course than usual, but sadly I still don't go far enough back to have known Nigel personally. He died just before I moved to settle in Wales, but I soon felt his influence that casts, not a long shadow, despite the sadness that is still clearly felt after his too early death, but a soaring light that still shines over the Welsh cultural scene."
The award was presented at a 'remembering Nigel Jenkins' event at Cinema & Co in Swansea on October 24.
H'mm Foundation founder Ali Anwar said: "Wales is blessed with a wealth of truly inspirational writers and we hope this award becomes another source of inspiration to the new generation. We are looking forward to next year's 'remembering Nigel' event.
