Donald Evans (Welsh poet)

Donald Evans (born 1940) is a Welsh poet, who writes in the Welsh language.

Evans comes from Talgarreg in Ceredigion. Between 1966 and 1972 he produced the periodical Y Cardi. He won the "double" of crown and chair twice, once at the 1977 National Eisteddfod of Wales and again in 1980; he is one of only three poets to have achieved this "double double".[1]

In 2006 Evans was awarded a Ph. D. by the University of Wales, Lampeter, for his work on strict-metre Welsh poetry submitted to eisteddfodau in the years 1955 - 1999.[2]
