The Waters That Raised Us: Personal Reflections from Wales by Taylor Edmunds

Looking through the lens of the climate emergency, ten Welsh writers consider the oceans, rivers and waterways that have raised them and through which they have found their place in the world. Drawing on personal narratives, folklore and local history, they explore how the waters we live alongside shape who we are and connect us with one another. Here are stories of polluted rivers, landscapes threatened by rising sea levels and communities flooded to create reservoirs – issues which threaten the future of homelands, cultures and communities in Wales. Alongside editor Taylor Edmonds, contributors include Sofia Brizio, Malachy Edwards, Dylan Huw, Joshua Jones, Francesca Reece, Durre Shahwar, Kathryn Tann, CJ Wagstaff and Kandace Siobhan Walker.
