These poems come with a limited-edition poem postcard and explore the many meanings of the snowdrop – from Tennyson’s “February fair-maid” to Jim Stewart’s image of snowdrops as “the last lights out”. These are poems to be enjoyed at any time of year, offering a welcome reminder that even in the depths of winter, spring is quietly at work preparing its many joys.
Candlestick Press ‘Instead of a Card’ poetry pamphlets make perfect presents – unusual, beautiful, worthwhile and definitely not for throwing away. They come with an envelope and bookmark left blank for your message. Interesting and enjoyable to read, they make an excellent introduction to the work of contemporary and historical poets.
