Dilys Wyndham Thomas is a Pushcart-nominated multilingual writer and poet. She was an assistant poetry editor for Passengers Journal for several years, and hosts writers’ workshops for Strange Birds Migratory Writing Collective.

Dilys’s poems, flash and short stories have appeared or are forthcoming in anthologies and journals, including Chestnut Review, Ink Sweat & Tears, New Flash Fiction Review and Shooter Literary Magazine. Rust & Moth nominated her poem, “Elegy,” for a 2026 Pushcart Prize, and her poetry pamphlet “Breakwater” was longlisted for Mslexia’s Poetry Pamphlet Competition, judged by Imtiaz Dharker.

In 2022, Dilys also wrote and recorded a spoken-word piece, “Bearings,” for Women on a Roll, a prize-winning documentary short about women rollerskaters in Amsterdam. “Bearings” closed the documentary, and was subsequently released online as a stand-alone film poem.

Dilys grew up in Saudi Arabia and Belgium, studied in France, and has since lived in Germany, Jordan, the UK and now the Netherlands. A graduate of the Paris Institute of Political Sciences (Sciences-Po) and the UCL Institute of Education, Dilys has also attended the City St George’s, University of London, writers’ workshop, tutored by novelist Katy Darby, and is currently enrolled in Faber Academy’s flagship writing course, Writing a Novel, taught by Sarah May.

She is working on her first novel, a contemporary retelling of selkie myths, as well as a collection of interconnected short stories, and a collection of maritime ecopoems.
