Autorenporträt
Nigel Jenkins (1949-2014) was one of Wales's leading writers: a poet and essayist, he was also a political activist, teacher, mentor, broadcaster, playwright, translator, psychogeographer and critic. Brought up on a farm on the Gower peninsula, he went on to study literature and film at Essex University and work as a journalist in England after a brief stint as a circus roustabout in America. On his return to Wales in 1976 he became a full-time writer and lecturer in Creative Writing. He was a founder member, and later chairman, of the Welsh Union of Writers. He won the Wales Book of the Year prize for his travel book Gwalia in Khasia - the story of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists Mission to the Khasi Hills in north-east India. In 2001, he published a selection of his essays and articles as Footsore on the Frontier. He was a co editor of the Welsh Academy Encyclopaedia of Wales, and a noted literary translator from Welsh. He was director of Swansea University's Masters programme in Creative Writing and also worked for Trinity College, Carmarthen, the Workers' Educational Association, and Tŷ Newydd, the National Writing Centre of Wales.
