‘It takes a real poet to make those of us jaded by Christmas re-imagine the season. Angela Graham performs the feat of translating the festival into an urgent challenge, fraught with our contemporary problems and yet full of joy.’ Gwyneth Lewis, inaugural National Poet of Wales.

‘a wonderful gathering of poems … such a lightness of touch with the old tropes, so much music and energetic imagination at work, so many new notes sounded. Not a line is predictable or a thought expected …’ Damian Smyth, poet and Head of Literature and Drama, Arts Council of Northern Ireland.

‘Read Star: Poems for the Christmas Season every year to remember the deeper values beyond the commercialism …’ Zoe Brigley, poet and editor of Poetry Wales.
