  • Blue: 101 Haiku, Senryu and Tanka (2002, UK, US) with David Pearl, Illustrator

  • Hotel Gwales (2006, UK, US)
    "Hotel Gwales" is the eagerly anticipated new collection from award winning poet Nigel Jenkins. It is as diverse as it is rousing, featuring some eighty poems varying in length from a three-line Haiku to an extended meditation of nearly 400 lines. Welsh themes and references, ancient and modern, are interspersed with works of an undeniably international flavour to bring together this exceptional collection. From a poem commerating the execution of a man known as the Welsh 'Braveheart' to an elegy for a Welsh bus driver, "Hotel Gwales" truly has something for everyone. "Hotel Gwales" offers Nigel Jenkins's distinctive voice at its best in his first collection of poetry in almost four years. Nigel is well known both in Wales and internationally and is a frequent performer of his work. He has previously undertaken reading tours of countries including the USA and Switzerland. His trademark experimentation with form and ability to engage with his subject is at its finest.

  • O for a Gun (2007, UK) with David Pearl, Illustrator
    This collection of 101 haiku and senryu follows Nigel Jenkins' highly successful haiku publication Blue, published by Planet in 2002. Jenkins' poems are linked by an affectionate sense of place and community and resonate in a way that makes one want to visit them again and again. The subtlety and lightness of Nigel Jenkins' haiku is punctuated by the wry humour of the senryu. He has a talent for finding two memorable images that together create a third; encouraging the imagination to explore this space, and thus opens up a dialogue between poet and reader. Illustrated by David Pearl, O for a Gun includes an illuminating afterword that explores parallels between Welsh and Japanese poetic forms.

  • The Welsh Academy Encyclopaedia of Wales (2008 release, UK, US), John Davies, Menna Baines, Nigel Jenkins, and Peredur Lynch, eds.
    "The Welsh Academy Encyclopaedia of Wales" will become known as the definitive reference works about Wales, containing entries on all the people and places which have made it so culturally, historically and geographically rich. Everything is contained within the covers of this magnificent book; Snowdonia to the pampas of Patagonia, folk heroes to Welsh Olympians, and the men and women of Wales who have excelled in art, culture and politics. This will be the first time all this material has been drawn together in one place. With over 5000 entries ranging from 50 to over 5000 words and over 300 colour and black and white illustrations, it is an ambitious undertaking and long overdue. No other work has covered so many aspects of Wales' past, its people, places, arts, industries, environment and traditions.
