"Hiraeth" is a poignant collection of poetry that explores the untranslatable Welsh concept of its title—a homesickness for a place that no longer exists or perhaps never was. Through lyrical verses that speak to universal human experiences, this volume navigates the complex terrain of loss, grief, love, and the persistent search for home. The poems within these pages traverse the landscape of human emotion, from the raw devastation of profound loss to the quiet resilience that follows. They celebrate the enduring power of love through its many manifestations—love that sustains, love that wounds, love that transforms, and love that remains even after goodbye. "Hiraeth" honors the spaces we call home, both physical and metaphorical, examining how these sanctuaries shape our identities and provide refuge in times of upheaval. Each poem offers glimpses into life's most defining moments—when hearts break and heal, when courage emerges from despair, when beauty blossoms in the midst of pain. At its core, this collection is a testament to human perseverance, chronicling the journey from brokenness to survival and eventually to a form of peace that coexists with one's scars. Through accessible yet profound language, "Hiraeth" reminds us that in our collective longing, grieving, and loving, we are never truly alone.
