A Book of Aberystwyth Verse is a poetry anthology by Aberystwyth students collated in 1928 by Charles Davies and Edward K Prosser, which I have illustrated to refresh them for the present day. Although originally from London, I have come to think of Aber as home. This project is a love letter to the wonderful town of Aberystwyth. By illustrating these poems, I am sharing with you the stories and voices of those who make up the town’s colourful and vibrant past. I hope that you will enjoy reading these poems as much as I did illustrating them.

Blodeugerdd o farddoniaeth gan fyfyrwyr Aberystwyth yw A Book of Aberystwyth Verse a gasglwyd yn 1928 gan Charles Davies ac Edward K Prosser. Rwyf i wedi eu darlunio i’w hadfywio ar gyfer yr oes hon. Er fy mod yn hanu o Lundain, rwy’n teimlo mai Aber yw fy nghartref. Mae’r prosiect hwn yn llythyr serch i dref ryfeddol Aberystwyth. Drwy ddarlunio’r cerddi, rwy’n rhannu straeon a lleisiau’r rheini sydd wedi ffurfio gorffennol lliwgar a bywiog y dref gyda chi. Gobeithio y byddwch chi’n mwynhau darllen y cerddi lawn gymaint ag y mwynheais i eu darlunio.
