About Us
Our Mission
Hiraeth is the Welsh noun for a fictitious home for which all hopelessly yearn; and along with printing literature which gives voice to the disenfranchised we depict, in language, the human heart's eternal conflict with itself.
Hiraeth follows the cue of Milton's Areopagus-the aesthetic foundation of Amendment I of this great American nation's Constitution, and of its ostensible freedom of the press. Precious few boundaries obtain within the confines of this material.

Poetry

Make It New
Deeply felt and deeply moving language, formatted or no, and for the sake of lyricism and perhaps didacticism, seeks to gladden the heart of man.
Fiction

Translations
Crafted prose storytelling in prose is inherently flawed because it betrays artifice at each syllable; still it cannot help but inform the reader how to live, if only by seeming.

Translations
The wisdom of many Eastern languages itself translates "to translate" as "to betray." And betrayal of format if not essence is indeed unavoidable when rendering a tongue which is not our own as one which is.
