Not Only The Dark has raised £2500 so far for Shelterbox - this brings the total raised by WordAid to over £8000! Many thanks to everyone who has supported us and made this possible. We are starting to think about our 2012 charity anthology, so please contact us at info@wordaid.org.uk with any suggestions.


June sees the launch of Touch Wood, an anthology that contains some 60 poems written by young people aged between eight and eleven years old as part of the BTCV Kent Heritage Trees project. Here you will find tales of Rootmen and Devas, woodcutters and tree sprites, Phaeton and the Heliades. The poems have been selected by Kent poet Vicky Wilson and are accompanied by illustrations by the children. Their inventiveness and imagination, craft and detailed observations demonstrate the power of trees as a source of inspiration. All profits from the sale of each book go to support BTCV.
