Twelve Poems for Christmas (Paperback)

This sparkling selection of seasonal poems, edited by Amy Wack, features all twelve shortlisted poems from Seren Books' inaugural Christmas Poetry Competition. This festive pamphlet will make a perfect stocking stuffer for the poetry-lover in your life. Editor Amy Wack said, "The challenge of a successful Christmas poem is the same as a challenge of a 'regular' both to embrace tradition and subvert it, to resist cliche. I was looking for variation of tone, manner and address, for brevity, and for a certain sparkling something, suitable for the season."
