CHEERIO celebrated a night of conversation, laughter and celebration in the name of poetry! Hosted by Backstory Bookshop, Pádraig Ó Tuama and Kandace Siobhan Walker were joined by Backstory’s brilliant events manager to talk all things poetry.

It was a special evening celebrating Pádraig’s stunning new collection KITCHEN HYMNS and his new anthology (published by Canongate Books) and Kandace Siobhan Walker’s Forward-prize shortlisted, Wales Poetry Book of the Year winning COWBOY.

Thank you to Backstory for being our utterly brilliant hosts and to the effable Keifer Nyron Taylor for the beautiful photographs.
