A beautiful and unique poetry chapbook, to be given instead of a greeting card. Designed and printed on high quality, tactile paper and packaged with a bookmark `left blank for your message' as well as an envelope, you need only a stamp to send this lovely gift on its way. Delightful and intellectually gratifying, this beautiful chapbook offers poems that are worthwhile, profound, and exhilarating to read. This year's The Twelve Poems of Christmas, selected and introduced by the UK Poet Laureate, shine silver and white with hoar frost and snow. Ice blazes, water burns, a candle is lit in a dark window. In this centenary year since the outbreak of World War One, the first poem is set in Arras, its war-scars covered over. ""I hope you find the poems full of surprises, delights and food for thought and discussion around the table.""-Carol Ann Duffy, UK Poet Laureate
