Donald Evans (Welsh poet)

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

Evans comes from Talgarreg in Ceredigion, and was born on a farm.[1] After going to school at Aberaeron, he obtained his degree in Welsh from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth.[2] 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".[3]

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.[4]

gollark: I suppose you could install caddy instead of nginx too, but I don't like it.
gollark: ```apache<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName thing1.com ProxyPass "/" "http://192.xxx.xxx.25"</VirtualHost>```seems like something which should work.
gollark: That would probably make your "edge" thing quite busy, since it would effectively be working as... half a reverse proxy.
gollark: So just stick different reverse proxy configurations in each "virtual host", I'm sure apache can do that much.
gollark: I was actually looking at recompiling nginx with LibreSSL, because I have heard horrible, *horrible* things about OpenSSL.
