This year's The Twelve Poems of Christmas, selected and introduced by the UK Poet Laureate, shine silver and white with hoar frost and snow. Ice blazes, water burns, a candle is lit in a dark window. In this centenary year since the outbreak of World War One, the first poem is set in Arras, its war-scars covered over. "I hope you find the poems full of surprises, delights and food for thought and discussion around the table."-Carol Ann Duffy, UK Poet Laureate
