This year marks the 20th anniversary of Red Poets, the annual magazine of left-wing poetry, articles and reviews, as well as a loose collective of performers. Issue 20 will be launched in September in Merthyr Tydfil.
The magazine and collective were born out of the political group - some even dared call it a party - Cymru Goch (Red Wales) which was active between 1987 and 2002.
For a small group of left activists who worked closely with their communities, Cymru Goch enjoyed no small influence.
