Second Light Closes Its Doors
 

For various reasons, and after 30 years of encouraging and enabling older women poets, Second Light has disbanded, officially at the close of the 2023/24 Membership year (31st October 2024), though there will be a period of finalising and gradual winding down of the website.
 
While this is ongoing, we welcome enquiries in regard to availability of our Remote Workshops, back copies of ARTEMISpoetry, and our published anthologies. In particular, we are offering the twin-set of Her Wings of Glass (2014, 211pp, 134 poets, 237 poems) and Fanfare (2015, 198pp, 167 poets, 241 poems) for £15 (UK delivery, £19 Rest of the World).
 
For any and all enquiries, please initially contact the Web Editor/Administrator, Anne Stewart e-mail.
