Just So You Know Essays of Experience

Edited by Hanan Issa, Durre Shahwar and Özgür Uyanık
16 voices from Wales with a different take on the world. Published by Parthian Books. August 2020.

A young woman weaves her experience of abuse into the folklore of her ancestors. A student addresses his OCD by writing letters to it. A Paralympic medallist reflects upon his journey into a challenging new lifestyle. From language politics to neurodivergence, cultural heritage to sexual identity, from immigration to race, these are insights shared with great care, sincerity, and often humour.

Just So You Know seeks to explore distinct and absorbing topics from an extensive array of compelling viewpoints such as self-identity, erasure of heritage, language and culture, the immigrant experience as well as problematic notions of the other by BAME, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent and disabled writers confronting heteronormative and neurotypical ideals – issues all rarely addressed through a Welsh lens.

#WBOTY20: Children & Young People’s Award Winner – Sophie Anderson

Sophie Anderson, “The Girl Who Speaks Bear” (Usborne)
The winner of the Children & Young People Award is Sophie Anderson with her lyrical folk tale of magic, belonging, and choosing your own family, The Girl Who Speaks Bear (Usborne). This novel follows Yanka, who was found abandoned by a bear cave as a baby, and has always wondered where she is from. When she must flee her house looking for these answers, a journey far beyond anything she ever imagined begins, from icy rivers to smouldering mountains, meeting an ever-growing herd of extraordinary friends along the way.
The Children & Young People category is new for 2020, to encourage a new generation of creative readers and writers, help raise the profile of Wales and its talented authors, and establish that literature for children is on a par with that which is intended for adult readership.
The Wales Arts Review People’s Choice Prize was awarded to Sophie Anderson, who captured the imagination of the reading public with The Girl Who Speaks Bear. Sophie receives a limited-edition signed and framed print of Pete Fowler’s Weird and Wonderful Wales mural on Cardiff Central Station’s Water Tower.

“These Streets” – Geraint Rhys

Commissioned by The National Library of Wales to create a piece using their digital sound archives, Geraint created ‘These Streets’. Through combining interview recordings of friends of Dylan Thomas describing their childhood growing up with him in Swansea, with archival footage and newly composed music and visuals, Geraint has created a mesmerising film and sound map of the places that were so familiar to Dylan. Also a native of Swansea, Geraint has used his familiarity of the streets to create a modern interpretation of Dylan’s life which offers new insight in the places which moulded Dylan’s imagination.
