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' poem: both to embrace tradition
and subvert it, to resist cliché. I was looking for variation of tone,
manner and address, for brevity, and for a certain sparkling something,
suitable for the season."
