Traveller Writers

The glory of Gypsy, Romany and Traveller writers lies in their diversity – the amorphous, shape-shifting nature of the journeys they undertake to hold on to and develop their sense of belonging to themselves, free of attempts by the non-Romany world to define them. Recently, the novelist Louise Doughty – editor of the WritersMosaic guest edition Blood and Belonging: Traveller Writers – hosted an evening of celebration with filmmaker Jake Bowers, poet Jo Clement, writer Damian Le Bas and the virtuoso Roma musicians, The Romany Diamonds.
