Ten Poems of Light
This celebration title offers light in a whole variety of glorious guises, helping to mark the occasion of one million pamphlet sales for Candlestick Press. We encounter celestial light in the form of the sun, moon and stars as well as in the miracle of the Northern Lights. There's also the dazzle of the sea and a mysterious bioluminescence from the natural world. The poems also explore what light means to us as humans - its ability to promise hope and a happier future. And of course, there's the light of a candle lit in remembrance of a loved one: "a sign says, and say a prayer, so I do. I light it for you, you who made the world a brighter place, and leave it burning." from 'Fire lit up the sky' by Carole Bromley
We hope that this dazzling selection will offer moments of delight and lasting joy - a poem (like a candlestick) being a lovely bearer of illumination.
Poems by Shasta Hanif Ali, Carole Bromley, Jane Burn, Rosie Jackson, Rachel Jeffcoat, Stephen Keeler, Nairn Kennedy, DA Prince, Penny Sharman and Laura Theis.
