Author Description

Stories and poems from Swansea all about language: translating, interpreting, learning, losing, sharing and re-inventing language. Includes: poems by members of the Swansea Women's Asylum and Refugee Group (most created in workshops led by Jeni Williams), and stories about personal experiences, recorded by Filiz Celik and Tom Cheesman as part of a project on language and interpreting among asylum-seekers and refugees. Plus contributions by many others. The research project was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, through the Cross-Language Dynamics consortium of the Open World Research Initiative, and based in Swansea University's Department of Modern Languages.
