The Poetry Lighthouse Anthology; Volume II

“'The Poetry Lighthouse Anthology: Volume II is a radiant vessel of voices, gathering the most luminous poems, short stories, reflections, and writing prompts published with us between 2024 and 2025. Curated with care by our editorial team, this second volume charts an emotional and thematic journey through the human experience—from the ache of love and the weight of sorrow to the quiet resilience of healing and hope. Within these pages, you’ll find poems steeped in nature’s wonder, echoes of belonging and displacement, queer poetics, spiritual longing, and bold critiques of society. There is grief and grace, memory and metamorphosis—and through it all, water flows: rivers, shorelines, oceans—imagery that ripples across many of the works. Featuring both emerging writers and established poets from around the globe, this anthology celebrates diverse voices and invites readers to linger, reflect, and return.'”

The Poetry Lighthouse Anthology; Volume I

“The debut anthology from The Poetry Lighthouse is an ample gift to poetry lovers around the world. Numerous poetic voices coalesce in these pages, offering up poems in various traditional and experimental forms on a whole colorful palette of themes, from nature, to love, to spirituality, to identity, and much more. Serving as a heavy capstone to the anthology are solid works of short fiction. I found these to be pages to get lost in, to become immersed in a tranquil forest of verse.”

Nicholas Trandahl, award-winning poet, author of the Amazon-bestselling Purgatory
