Still Here (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781917617352)

Still Here by Elin ap Hywel, translated by Laura Fisk, is a richly layered collection that traverses memory, myth, and womanhood with lyrical precision and political depth. Drawing from Welsh poetic tradition and feminist poetics, these poems move between domestic interiors, historical echoes, and folkloric landscapes, often blurring the line between the living and the spectral. Fisk's translation captures the tonal shifts of ap Hywel's voice, wry, intimate, elegiac, rendering its cadences and imagery with clarity and care. What emerges is a work that honours language as both inheritance and resistance, attentive to the textures of loss, survival, and quiet transformation.
