To be a glimmer is to be a faint, wavering light; to glimmer is to shine dimly. This has been the meaning of the word since the early 15th century, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary (etymonline.com), which also states that the word meant "to shine brightly" at the end of the 14th century. Glimmer takes the Old English "gleam"- brightness-as its root. Since the mid-13th century, to gleam has meant "to throw rays of light; appear suddenly and clearly."Winter Glimmerings is a collection of poems about finding hope even in the cold and in the dark and in the unknown.

In a world warming at an alarming pace, "The Climate Change Chronicles" awakens and inspires through compelling poetic voices. This anthology depicts the stark realities facing us-from the smog in our cities to the rising tides eroding our shores. Through each verse, celebrated and emerging poets around the globe bear witness to the changes unfolding in their backyards, in the air, and in the sea. This collection not only chronicles Earth's distress but also challenges us to envision the future we are co-creating through today's choices. As the book culminates with stories that project dystopian futures, it serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of life and the urgent need to act. "The Climate Change Chronicles" is more than a literary anthology-it's a love letter, a warning, a dirge about our planet. It's a meditation on our home. "The Climate Change Chronicles" was a 2024 project of Bronze Bird Books, conceptualized and edited by David Pring-Mill, founder of Bronze Bird Books. Mila Pring-Mill served as Associate Editor.
