Beyond/Tu Hwnt

A bold collection of essays on disability and deafness in 21st century Britain.

For Deaf and Disabled writers, the context is immutable. Deaf and Disabled people are currently being scapegoated, silenced and dehumanised in the media and by politicians. Our human and legal rights are being violated. Disabled people are being forced to fight for our survival. Beyond is a collection of work by Welsh Deaf and Disabled...

Beyond / Tu Hwnt is a communities-uniting collection of contemporary Welsh Deaf and Disabled voices.

By celebrating the diversity and uniqueness of our voices, we aim to fill the void where our stories and experiences always should have existed.

Our aim in bringing our poetry, non-fiction and fiction together is to show that our work exists in all its power beyond the barriers and that it always has existed here in Wales. A collection of work by Deaf and Disabled writers shouldn’t be radical, yet it is.

Mae Beyond / Tu Hwnt yn gasgliad sy’n uno cymunedau o leisiau Cymreig cyfoes Byddar ac Anabl.

Drwy ddathlu amrywiaeth ac unigrywiaeth ein lleisiau, ein nod yw llenwi’r bwlch lle y dylai ein straeon a’n profiadau fod wedi bod erioed.

Ein nod wrth gasglu’n barddoniaeth, ein llenyddiaeth ffeithiol a’n ffuglen ynghyd yw dangos bod ein gwaith yn bodoli yn ei holl nerth y tu hwnt i’r rhwystrau, a’i fod wedi bod yma yng Nghymru erioed. Ni ddylai casgliad o waith gan awduron Byddar ac Anabl fod yn radical, ac eto dyna ydyw.
