Winter Lights : A season in Poems & Quilts

by Anna Grossnickle Hines

https://sacms.alamo.edu/Mediasite/Play/4f468df0bcfe418585cdc5d19c40b59b1d

Rich, luminous fabrics. Eleven miles of thread. An uncountable number of stitches. Clear, sparkling words. With these ingredients Anna Grossnickle Hines celebrates the lights that brighten the darkest season of our year. In poems and quilts she captures each heartening glow and flicker, from the moon and aurora borealis to the holiday lights of Santa Lucia, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Chinese New Year to one lone candle and a hidden flashlight in the deep, dark night.
