  'A wonderful collection stemming from a hugely important project keeping young Welsh writers connected to Europe despite all attempts to sever these crucial cultural ties.' – Rachel Trezise
  'Anthologies such as this one are the footings of the recently-burnt bridges that we need to rebuild. They help to tear down the walls put up around us. Always important, they are now vital.' – Niall Griffiths
  Ulysses's Cat brings readers the work of some of the most outstanding authors of the younger generation from Croatia, Greece, Serbia, Slovenia and Wales who participated in a project of exchange residencies originally launched on the Croatian island of Mljet, where, according to legend, shipwrecked Ulysses found shelter. As Britain becomes metaphorically unmoored and drifts away from Europe, keeping connected through reading and dialogue provides us with new perspectives on our place in the world and on the tumultuous times we live in. The works of poetry, prose and essays included here offer a snapshot of the concerns and preoccupations shared by young writers from a region with a rich literature that rarely reaches English-language readers and at the same time confirms the vitality of the bilingual Welsh literary scene.

  Your Heart My Soul - Piece by Piece

  This book will be different, but unique. 
  For my poetry is real and somewhat sheik. 
  They’re all short stories about my past. 
  Family, loved ones, and dreams that couldn’t last. 
    
  Freedom of speech {so called} I am blunt. 
  I can write about anything and everything I want. 
  Fighting for life, children, and my rights has been a hassle. 
  Throughout my life it’s been a long battle. 
    
  Reading these poems are pieces of me. 
  Funny, sad, about love, and eternity. 
  Opening to others is new for me as well. 
  Hopefully, guide, or give you relief, time will tell. 
    
  Thank you to those who gave me the chance. 
  Thanks to my Family and Kids for the influence. 
  Thanks to my Husband for dealing with my crap. 
  Thanks to God for getting me out of those traps.

  Winner of the Coretta Scott King Award, and New York Times bestselling author Nikki Grimes introduces Glory, Too, a soul-stirring collection of poetry that delves into the depths of faith, hope, and the human experience by one of America's preeminent black poets.
  
  In a marriage of poetry, faith, and worship, Ms. Grimes' poems illuminate the Scriptures that grace every Sunday of the year. Her inimitable voice and imagination offer glimpses of glory we might not otherwise see, throughout the seasons of the year.
  With lyrical precision and spiritual insight, she invites readers on a journey of reflection, weaving together themes of grace, redemption, and the enduring power of God's love throughout the year.
  As the companion volume to her previous book Glory in the Margins: Sunday Poems, Glory, Too resonates with authenticity and depth, giving testimony to the transformative power of poetry and the enduring hope found in the embrace of God's eternal grace.
  
  High Style
  Louboutin stilettos
  are recognizable at a distance.
  Those shiny red soles
  tell you everything.
  When Gucci handbags
  are in a room,
  they virtually shout.
  Now, I'm not much for labels,
  but I've noticed how
  God's garments stand out.
  Take the suit, a second skin
  made of holiness—a rare fabric,
  that usually itches, at first
  until the wearer
  gets used to it;
  Beyond that,
  God's personal style
  is all about the layered look:
  the silk of compassion,
  golden threads of kindness
  woven through the vest,
  humility cinching in the waist,
  
  meekness and patience
  falling to the ankles,
  and love thickly draped
  across the shoulders.
  The clothing God designs
  is never mistaken
  for anyone's but his.
  And when we're wise enough
  to don his attire,
  we look like more
  than a million.

  After the Fall: Dirges Among Ruins

  This collection explores the creative space of poetry as a means to unravel feelings evoked by the violence of war or by everyday traumatic events. One may come to terms with uncomfortable, including unspeakable, feelings by describing them with imagery from nature and one’s immediate environment. By participating in grieving, the self can better face any lingering effects of trauma. In this creative space, dramatic speakers retell stories and give vent to contradictory feelings through silences and free play. Their accounts attest to the dappled beauty of the human condition even if the full nature, scope and effects of traumatic memories are always beyond their grasp.
