Control your Culture.

John Cheever

From the writer’s perspective, audience is always an act of the imagination.

Billy Marshall Stoneking

Put the female, the European, the specifics of place that Wales represents, back into your imagination

Gwen Davies, editor

Ah, how good it is to be among people who are reading.
