Hiraeth: Cysur

A nation's soul is stitched with story, song, and silence.

Hiraeth: Cysur, weaves together myth and memory, grief and belonging, humour and defiance. From the whispered valleys of South Wales to the ghost-lit streets of Cardiff, this collection pulses with the lives of miners, rebels, shopkeepers, saints, lost boys, and creatures of legend.

Blending poetry, flash fiction, folklore, and essay, Cysur (Welsh for "comfort") is a literary love letter to a people who endure, a language that remembers, and a land that refuses to be forgotten.

Whether reflecting on the stormy beauty of Merthyr, exploring urban myths in Splott, or rewriting history with fire and verse, this volume is as personal as it is political - a final reckoning with hiraeth itself.
