Candlelight
Posted on 17th July 2026
"Candlelight is the shadow play at the end of a day you'll never forget, a view through a woodland that opens onto eternity. Here are poems well-made enough to handle: objects cut by hand, smooth as river stones, cast to a skilful tune. Amidst these thirty-one elegies for the good ones lost, in a darkening world, come epiphanies of brightness. From parkland to riverside, Liverpool to Paris, join the candlelit table in conversation with Hart Crane and Yeats, with local legends and future days, in poems that draw you into the heart of lived conversation: 'is not the day yet young?'"
