Evans comes from Talgarreg in
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]
