Songs of the Darkness brings together a selection of poems for
Christmas written over a period of more than thirty years. They are
notable for their combination of a close focus and breadth, and for
the way in which the seasonal is celebrated alongside the
challenges of history and the beauty of the natural world.
topographically the poems range from a Romanian convent to a Devon
beach to an alpine cablecar. The finely drawn illustrations by
Erica Sail, the writer's daughter, add their own note of precision
and detail. Taken together with the poems, they help to create a
perspective in which the darkness of winter really does yield up
its music. All royalties from sales of Songs of the Darkness will
be given to Trusts for African Schools, a registered charity which
acts as a conduit for money raised in the UK to be sent out to some
of the poorest schools in Africa. More information, and details of
the ten individual schools currently supported by the Trusts, eight
in Kenya, and one each in Uganda and Ethiopia, are available on the
website www.trustsforafricanschools.org.
