Description:

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.’
