Only the Flame Remains

A pamphlet of poems by Adam Horovitz.

Published by Randwick-based Yew Tree Press, Only the Flame Remainswas written during Adam’s time as the first ever Poet-in-Residence at  Stroud’s Museum in the Park, and are his last look at the Slad Valley through the prism of the Laurie Lee centenary, with particular reference to the poem ‘April Rise’, which is quoted on Laurie’s grave.

The first edition of Only the Flame Remains was a limited edition of 40 signed, numbered copies exclusive to the Museum in the Park. All proceeds from the sale of the limited edition of Only the Flame Remains have been used to support the Museum’s Walled Garden project.

“In his new pamphlet, which Yew Tree Press is delighted to publish, Adam Horovitz collects poems written as poet-in-residence as part of the Laurie Lee centenary celebrations” says Philip Rush from Yew Tree Press. “Laurie Lee lurks in some of the poems: he animates the woodland on a night out at The Woolpack, he lurks in the ivy on a graveside tree, and his cider leads to a night of foiled lust. But these are really Adam’s poems, about his mother, his father and his childhood amongst the woodlands of the Slad valley. He writes with rich language and musical phrasing, and he writes with honesty and balance. It’s a lovely short sequence.”

“I first read… Only the Flame Remains while on a mini-bus, surrounded by my boisterous co-workers, on our way to our office Christmas party yesterday… Now, if a pamphlet can hold your attention in those circumstances, one hand cradling a plastic cup full of prosecco, then you know it’s a good one.”
