Black Bough Poetry returns with Christmas-Winter no. 6 (2025), an anthology of startling and atmospheric poetry from across the world, dedicated to winter festivals, customs and memories, from the solstice to Christmas to the Mari Lwyd.

 

The poets describe visits from Santa, explore nostalgic memories, share seasonal heartbreak, and take readers to austere, snow-filled landscapes. With poets, such as Mark Fiddes, Victoria Spires, Sarah Raybould, Ian Tattum, Oormila Vijayakrishnan Prahlad, Louise Machen, Rachel Deering, Polly Oliver, Regine Ebner, Helen Laycock, Elizabeth Feyver, Rhona Greene, Leigh Anthony Manley and Daniel Duggan, this is another book not to be missed.

 

Featuring beautiful illustrations by Emma Bissonnet, fire up your imagination for the wintry season!
