Meirion Jordan

Biografia

Meirion Jordan grew up in Cwmllynfell in Wales and studied Mathematics

at Somerville College, Oxford. He took the MA in Creative Writing from the

University of East Anglia, Norwich, and is in the process of completing a PhD

there. His first collection of poetry, Moonrise, was published by Seren in 2008

and was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. His 2009

poetry pamphlet on outsiders in Norwich, Strangers Hall, published by Gatehouse

Press, and for which he won the 2008 Café Writers Norfolk Commission, was also

shortlisted in the East Anglian Book of the Year Awards. His most recent collection

of poetry, Regeneration, which offers a two-sided look at British history and the

Arthurian Legend, was published by Seren in 2012. Meirion currently divides

his time between Wales and Norwich, and his most recent project looks at the

traditions and martyrologies of the Brecon area, inspired by medieval recitation

and lyric practices.
