This weekend, Aber Valley residents will release the second volume of poetry made for and by the local community.
Tatws Siôn Cent: Volume 2 will be launched at two events in Senghenydd on Sunday May 19.
The first includes poetry reading and will take place at the Old Noddfa Chapel site on Stanley Street at 3pm, weather permitting.
The festivities will then move on to the Ex Servicemen’s Club on Gwern Avenue from 3.30pm to 5.30pm, where there will be poetry, films and an open mic session.
Free copies of both volumes will be available.
The poetry booklets are named after Siôn Cent, a 14th-century Welsh poet who lived in Abertridwr.
Legend has it that Siôn Cent tricked the devil into helping him harvest potatoes.
The first edition of the book was launched in 2023 at an event in the Aber Hotel.
