Guest of the ilb 2006
Aneirin Karadog was born in
Llanelwy (St Asaph) and raised in the valleys of South Wales. The son
of a Welsh father and a Breton mother speaks five languages – Welsh,
Breton, French, Spanish and English – and writes poetry in the strict
Welsh meter called Cynghanedd and in free verse. He also raps
multilingually with a Hip-Hop group called »Y Diwygiad«.
Karadog was awarded the distinguished scholarship in the Royal National
Eisteddfod. His poems have been released in various anthologies and he
has won the National Urdd Eisteddfod Chair. He published a new joint
collection of poetry with four other young Welsh poets entitled »Crap
ar Farddoni« in 2006.
