Kardomah group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kardomah group was a literary and artistic circle which met in the Kardomah Cafe In Swansea, Wales c. 1930. Regulars included Charles Fisher (poet), Dylan Thomas, Vernon Watkins, Daniel Jones, Fred Janes, Mabley Owen and Tom Warner.

Some recollections of the cafe and the people who met there were recorded by Fisher and are available at kardomahgroup.net [1]

  • "My recollections of the place date from the year I started working for the Post (1934?) Dylan, briefly a reporter at the same time as myself, was in the process of leaving the paper and preparing his assault on literary London. (But he and I were in the habit of meeting there even before then, in Grammar School days when editing the school magazine was used as a pretext for cutting classes)" etc...
