Candelabra

To Light A Candle, my poetry workshop series, has been running for four sessions now. A whole year. I have been concocting something special to celebrate.

Candelabra is an anthology, representing the first year of To Light a Candle, collected in one volume.

The four sessions include 17 poets and 22 poems. The amount of prompts has been expanded to a tidy total of 100. Candelabra is a digital anthology, available for download on my website for $15 - $45, sliding scale. You are encouraged to print out the anthology, in respect to the original ‘by mail’ / physical media vibes, if you so choose - but I won’t tell anyone if you simply enjoy via a screen.
