Hewitt, Lennon Make Dylan Thomas Prize Shortlist
Two Irish authors, Seán Hewitt and Ferdia Lennon, have been shortlisted for the prestigious Swansea University Dylan Thomas Prize, which awards £20,000 to emerging writers aged 39 or under. Hewitt is nominated for his poetry collection 'Rapture's Road', noted for its exploration of love and loss through evocative imagery, while Lennon’s debut novel 'Glorious Exploits' transports readers to ancient Sicily, intertwining historical themes with contemporary storytelling. The shortlist features a diverse array of works, including novels and a short story collection from writers across the globe, addressing various themes such as identity, grief, and the human experience. Chair of the judges, Namita Gokhale, praised the compelling and vibrant nature of the entries this year. The winner of the award will be announced on May 15. This recognition emphasizes the importance of nurturing literary talents in honor of Dylan Thomas's legacy.
