Steve Griffiths was born in Anglesey - Ynys Môn - in 1949. He has published five
collections of poems since 1980, with Seren, Cinnamon and Rex Collings. Seren
published his Selected Poems in 1993. There followed a long disappearance: his
next collection, ‘An Elusive State - Entering al-Chwm’ appeared in 2008 from Cinnamon,
as did a pamphlet, ‘Landing’, from Rack Press. Cinnamon will publish ‘Surfacing’,
his new collection, in September 2011. A further collection, ‘31 Late Love Poems
and a Hole in the Head’, has recently been completed. His work has been broadcast
at intervals on BBC Radio 3 since 1976, and he has read in Wales, England, USA, Spain
and France. From September, a series of launch readings for ‘Surfacing’ is being
organised.
