The Poetry Lighthouse Anthology: Volume III

'The Poetry Lighthouse: Volume III' is a luminous gathering of contemporary voices from around the world, united by a shared devotion to language and imagination. The anthology contains poems, short stories, reflections, and writing prompts. Curated with care by our editorial team, these poems move from cityscapes to shorelines, private reckonings to public histories, bright to dark, silence to song. From meditations on art, love, memory and loss to fierce reckonings with war, identity, and belonging, these poems explore what it means to inhabit a body, a landscape, a century.

Featuring internationally established and emerging writers - including the winners of the Poetry Lighthouse Prize 2025 (winter round) - Volume III celebrates poetry as witness, resistance, solace, and transformation. Alongside poetry, you will find inspirational reflections, poetry tips and writing prompts, making this collection both a literary showcase and an invitation to create.

At once intimate and expansive, 'The Poetry Lighthouse: Volume III' affirms the enduring power of words to illuminate even the most uncertain horizons.
