Advent Poetry Calendar: European and Oceanian Edition

Created and curated by Tetyana Filipchuk, The Poetic Advent Calendar is not merely a book — it’s a journey through time, continents, and the shared light of humanity. Each of its twenty-four days opens like a door or a window into another world: a poem, a voice, a breath of winter’s soul. From William Shakespeare and Christina Rossetti to Guillaume Apollinaire, Théophile Gautier, and Carlo Collodi; from the sacred verses of Ephrem the Syrian to the tenderness of Gladys-May Casely-Hayford of Sierra Leone; from Francisca Josefa del Castillo y Guevara of Colombia to Karel Jaromír Erben of Czechia, Jan Kasprowicz of Poland, and Ivan Franko of Ukraine — this collection brings together the wisdom and warmth of the world. All these poetic treasures are interwoven with the voices of renowned English-language writers — from Margaret Sangster and Frances Ridley Havergal to Paul Laurence Dunbar, Wilfred S. Skeats, and Sara Teasdale — creating a luminous dialogue across time, culture, and faith. Each poem, drawn from the public domain and reimagined through new translation and design, reflects a unique light: the joy of giving, the mystery of birth, the silence of snow, the radiance of faith. The pages are alive with art and atmosphere — windows glowing with candlelight, doors opening toward new horizons, and colors that carry both serenity and wonder. It is a book to read slowly, day by day — a meditation in verse, a bridge between centuries, a celebration of human tenderness. A creation of PoetikAl Ltd, this luminous edition invites readers to rediscover Christmas as a season of light, poetry, and belonging — where all voices meet beneath the same winter star. ✨ Includes works by William Shakespeare • Christina Rossetti • Guillaume Apollinaire • Victor Hugo • Carlo Collodi • Ephrem the Syrian • Gladys-May Casely-Hayford • Francisca Josefa del Castillo y Guevara • Karel Jaromír Erben • Jan Kasprowicz • Ivan Franko • Caroline Carleton • Paul Laurence Dunbar • Clement Clarke Moore • Wilfred Skeats 💫 Themes & Essence Poetry • Christmas • Humanity • Light • Connection • Timeless beauty 🎁 A perfect gift for Dreamers, art lovers, and all who believe that poetry can still warm the world.
