Love Poetry Hate Racism!

Patrick Jones

Tredegar-born Jones is considered by many to be one of Wales’ most resonant contemporary poets. Drawing heavily on his south Wales Valley’s heritage he is a champion of the downtrodden and the marginal. As both a poet and playwright Jones has collaborated with many of Wales’ best known individuals and institutions including, James Dean Bradfield, Sherman Theatre and National Theatre Wales. Prominent amongst his work is the play, Everything Must Go, whose title was subsequently appropriated by Manic Street Preachers for the title of their fourth studio album.
