Dazzling new poems to celebrate a happy landmark

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. We hope that this dazzling selection – which includes the winning poems in our recent competition – will offer moments of delight and lasting joy, a poem (like a candlestick) being a lovely bearer of illumination.
