In 1967 Evans moved to
Pwllheli on the
Llŷn Peninsula in 1967 to teach English at Pwllheli County Grammar School, which is now part of
Ysgol Glan y Môr. Her father and grandmother had been brought up there. While on maternity leave in 1976, Christine Evans started writing poems in English. Her first book,
Looking Inland, appeared seven years later.
Cometary Phases was declared
Welsh Book of the Year in 1989. Her
Selected Poems won her the inaugural
Roland Mathias Prize in 2005, from the
Brecknock Society and Museum Friends, for its "fresh eye and boldness of metaphor, a sense of living on the threshold of other worlds." She has also written fiction and non-fiction for children and young adults. ==Bibliography==
