Nightfall is the forthcoming poetry anthology from my publishing company, a thousand flowers books. It explores what nighttime means — in all its dimensions. Night has its own magic and its own demons. It holds insomnia and moonlight, shadows and dreams, fear and ease.
We invited poets of all backgrounds and levels of experience to interpret the theme of night—and the response was extraordinary. We received poems from poets around the world.
We are currently reading submissions and hope to publish the anthology in the Spring of 2027.
May You Hear the flower sing. They Wait for us …
WHEN
FLOWERS
SING
A POETRY ANTHOLOGY
Edited by Irene Isobel
A new book by my publishing company,
a thousand flowers books
This poetry odyssey of flowers can give you another path into the primal mystical, miraculous land of flowers. Flowers are given in every aspect of our lives: births, graduations, courtships, weddings, friendships, illnesses, anniversaries, deaths. May time on this poetry path deepen your pleasure, your solace. May it open you more to the munificence of flowers.
“Offering nourishment during troubling times, WHEN FLOWERS SING is a layered poetry anthology about flowers, skillfully edited by Christina Isobel. ”
EVERYDAY
MERMAID
A collaborative Poetry Art Book
Poetry by Irene Isobel
Artwork by Deidre Scherer
A poetic, artistic deep dive into the ordinary. Colors, waves, ripples of sound in words and meaning. Experiences day-to-day visceral contact with nature and the body. Celebrates the feminine and kinship with all life.
