In the bleak midwinter,
(Christina Rosetti)
Let there be light.
(Genesis)
On December 15, let’s counter midwinter’s bleakness with poetic light. Bring your favorite poems (preferably by a writer other than yourself) which explore or celebrate the welcome phenomenon of light out of darkness. And/or which explore or celebrate one or more of December’s festivals of light (in this year’s chronological order): Chanukah, the winter solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa. Cast your net wide. Think metaphorically as well as literally. Let your mind (and your senses) run free.
