The Save the Gay Head Lighthouse Committee will soon release a limited edition (50) hand printed, hand bound book of poetry inspired by the lighthouse entitled “Legacy of Light”.
“We started the Gay Head Lighthouse Poetry Project as a way to let islanders and visitors express how they feel about the lighthouse,” said publisher and bookbinder Mitzi Pratt. “We’ve had so many excellent submissions that it’s taking longer than anticipated to do the editing, printing, and binding but it’s in the works.”
A soft-cover edition of the poetry book will also be available for sale at several island locations, and all proceeds from the sale of both will go towards funding the Save the Gay Head Lighthouse relocation project.
