Gwlad! which is launched at Eisteddfod Y Garreg Las this Thursday. And in introducing the new editor, Imogen Davies. Originally from Aberystwyth Imogen has studied in Durham, Barcelona and Edinburgh. She has an interest in literature in translation especially from Welsh and Catalan both of which she can speak in addition to French and Spanish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The aim of this issue of \u003c\/em\u003eNew Welsh Review\u003cem\u003e, my first as editor, is to explore the definition of what it means to be Welsh. Celebrating the diversity of Cymru and its people. From Cymru’s Muslim community to queer Welsh poets, cultural connections between Cymru and Japan, and creative pieces written by those who can speak Cymraeg and those who cannot. All equally Welsh. Launching this issue at the National Eisteddfod in Y Garreg Las is an opportunity to come together and honour the nuanced and multi-faceted nature of Welsh identity through literature and the arts. Perhaps this issue can give readers a reason to retreat to a shady corner and cool off, taking shelter from the environmental and political heat of the world, and have their own ‘Hydration Break’. Quenching a human thirst for literature and the arts, offering a means of escape from the burning state of the world, if only for a short while.\" Imogen Davies, August 26\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can read more about the plans for the magazine \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nation.cymru\/culture\/youngest-ever-new-welsh-review-editor-wants-to-broaden-the-definition-of-welshness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e on Nation.Cymru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIssue 140 Gwlad!
