Daily Post
|August 05, 2025
POEMS about his mother living with dementia won Owain Rhys the Crown at this year's National Eisteddfod in Wrexham.
The poet, who was born in Llandwrog, near Caernarfon but has been living in Cardiff since he was a teenager, composed the collection of poems that discuss living with someone who suffers from dementia.
The Crown is sponsored by Elin Haf Davies and the cash prize of £750 is presented by Prydwen Elfed Owens, in memory of her parents and her happy childhood years in Bwlchgwyn.
The Crown was designed and produced by Neil Rayment and Elan Rowlands in their workshop in Cardiff Bay.
Poets were asked to submit a poem or a collection of poems without being in a poem, up to 250 lines, on the subject of 'Ruins.' The judges are Gwyneth Lewis, Siôn Aled and Ifor ap Glyn.
