Follow this link for PWYC About the book: As a nation, Wales has deep cultural and geomorphological associations with water. In this vital anthology, editor Taylor Edmonds asks nine contemporary Welsh writers to consider how the waters we live alongside shape who we are and connect us to one another. Drawing on personal experience, family history, folklore and local legend, they explore the waters that have raised them, from seas, rivers and waterfalls to reservoirs and swimming pools. In doing so, they address the fears that come with knowing these bodies of water are at risk from climate change. The result is a powerful collection of unique stories, histories and imagined futures for the waters of Wales, which remind us why these vital forces need both our protection and respect.
