An image of Snowdonia on a clear morning, overlaid in white text it reads: “Despite new attention in recent years, the everyday presence of the Celtic languages remains fragile, with only a fraction of local speakers and in a constant state of endangerment. This collection is an attempt, however small, to tackle this issue by sharing with readers of international literature a little of what the Celtic languages have to offer, and demonstrating the beating heart that produces this vibrant poetry and prose.” A Subtle Confluence: Transmissions from the Celtic Languages.

Read guest editor Emyr Wallace Humphreys's contextual essay about our latest Celtic issue, the decision to focus on the more prominent languages within the Celtic family, and the fragile status of the languages themselves.

It names Ruth Diver as the winner for her translation of The Convoy by Beata Umubyeyi Mairesse, published by Open Borders Press, and includes a quoted commendation from judge Adam Hamdy praising the translation’s empathy and craftsmanship. The runner-up is listed as Frank Wynne for his translation of Sleeping Children by Anthony Passeron, published by Pan Macmillan, Picador.

Beth mae ein hathrawon yn ei ddweud?​

Mae'r Wobr yn gynhwysol iawn a difyr iawn – doedd yr un o’r myfyrwyr yn teimlo wedi’u gadael allan.​

I'n myfyrwyr ni, mae cymryd rhan yn y gystadleuaeth hon wedi eu hysbrydoli, eu hysgogi ac wedi rhoi hwb i'w hyder.​

Roedd pawb yn yr adran yn dwlu ar yr adnoddau. ​D’yn ni ddim wedi cael un ymateb negyddol.

​Doeddwn i erioed wedi gwneud barddoniaeth efo Blwyddyn 7 o'r blaen. Allwn i ddim ddychmygu sut byddai'n gweithio. Bellach, dw i’n defnyddio adnoddau Anthea Bell i wneud hyn bob blwyddyn, ac mae pawb wrth eu boddau!

​Gyda’ch adnoddau sydd mor ddiddorol ac wedi'u cynllunio’n dda... rwy’n teimlo nad disgyblion Blwyddyn 8 sydd gen i, ond myfyrwyr Chweched Dosbarth.​
