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.

DADDY THE BARBARIAN The long-awaited chronicles of Elvin the Royal Bastard and of his unrequited hankerings after the legendary beauty Renada.
