Featuring the work of 54 contemporary poets and writers, and edited by David Madgalene, "Continent of Light" is a spin-off from David James Randolph's "More Candles in the Dark" project, and reflects Randolph's vision of a cutting-edge collection of contemporary poetry unafraid to face current urgent social and cultural issues head-on. These are poems truly ripped from today's headlines and are of intrinsic interest not only to lovers of literature, but to anyone and everyone who has a stake in the world in which they live.
