SMEOP - a series of themed annual anthologies from Black Sunflowers Poetry Press - brings together some of the most extraordinary voices in global poetry.
In chapters - RADIANT, HEAT, FLAMES, FIRE, ABLAZE, BURNING and EMBERS, this anthology brings together the work of 40 poets. In a cumulative evocation of spirit, humdrum summers, pastoral passion, landscapes of lament, earthly disquiet, urban rages and scorched earth, SMEOP (Hot) -a palimpsest for the planet - unveils its plea for the world.
