Mae’r bardd a’r awdur chwedlonol Matt Goodfellow yn dod â sesiwn fywiog i Ŵyl y Gelli, sy’n cynnwys darlleniadau o’i gasgliad o farddoniaeth Tomorrow We Begin, sy’n archwilio uchafbwyntiau ac isafbwyntiau bywyd plant yn eu harddegau gyda sensitifrwydd a hiwmor. Bydd Matt yn darllen o’i nofel bennill newydd hir-ddisgwyliedig hefyd, The First Year – dilyniant i The Final Year sydd wedi ennill gwobr CliPPA – sy’n dilyn Nate, sy’n 11 oed, drwy ei ddechrau cythryblus yr ysgol uwchradd. Disgwyliwch ddarlleniadau deniadol, trafodaeth graff a sesiwn holi ac ateb i danio’ch taith greadigol eich hun!

Matt will also read from his much-anticipated new verse novel The First Year – sequel to the CliPPA award-winning The Final Year – which follows 11-year-old Nate through his tumultuous start of secondary school. Expect engaging readings, insightful discussion and a Q&A to spark your own creative journey!
