Endorsements “For 10 years Wales Arts Review has challenged, provoked, encouraged enraged and inspired the arts in Wales. Perhaps most importantly it has helped us see where we are as a culture and the possibilities of what lies ahead.” - Michael Sheen

“Ten years is a short time in an ancient country like Wales, but Wales Arts Review has achieved a huge amount in its decade of existence. It has kept the arts in conversation not just with their audiences but with each other. Wales Arts Review was, from the start, tired of the old straw targets and the false oppositions. Curious and open-minded, alert to the present, it never suffered from fashionable amnesia or curated our nostalgias. Its ethos is to celebrate, but also to scrutinise, and this anthology is a fitting marker of its ambition, its range and its dynamism.” - Patrick McGuinness

“Wales Arts Review is a vital feature of our country’s cultural life, and I can’t imagine a Wales without it.” - Lleucu Siencyn, Chief Executive Literature Wales

“For a decade, Wales Arts Review has fulfilled the utterly vital task suggested by its name; that is, it has reviewed (with wit, insight, skill and sensitivity) the arts (the exploration of the human soul at one particular moment in history through all and myriad forms of creative endeavour) in Wales (a wet and wild little country on the western edge of the European continent which has produced, continues to produce, and will produce endlessly fascinating and variant modes of artistic expression). In short: what WAR does is essential to the life of an emergent nation. Long may it thrive.” - Niall Griffiths
