“Eye-opening content for anyone who reads it… a strong, valuable compendium.” Noel Gardner, Buzz Magazine
Noel Gardner, Buzz magazine
“This bilingual compilation of fiction, essays, and poetry by Welsh Deaf, Disabled, and Neurodivergent writers is in equal parts funny and relentless.”
Amanda Grace, Goodreads
“A groundbreaking bilingual anthology that celebrates the resilience, defiance, and joy of contemporary Welsh Deaf and Disabled voices”
Beyond / Tu Hwnt brings together fiction, non-fiction, and poetry from 29 diverse Welsh voices and powerfully addresses a cultural moment. Deaf and Disabled people are too often scapegoated, silenced, and dehumanised and this collection moves beyond documenting struggle to showcase the vibrant creativity and intellectual strength of these communities.
The book includes work from new, emerging and established writers and with the expertise of three editors with distinguished backgrounds in Welsh literature, cultural curation, and disability advocacy, the anthology ensures both literary excellence and authentic representation. This collection is uniquely positioned to fill a crucial gap in both Welsh and international literature, offering an opportunity to engage with authentic voices and universal themes of inclusion, representation, and social justice through a distinctly Welsh lens.
