\"scintillabar\"<\/a>Scintilla <\/i>is an international peer-reviewed journal that explores the latest critical approaches to seventeenth-century English literature while celebrating the best in contemporary ‘metaphysical’ poetry and prose. We are now entering our 23rd year and continue to draw support, inspiration, and critical rigour from the annual Colloquium of The Vaughan Association held in Brecon, Wales. The Colloquium is held each year on the weekend closest to the 23rd of April, the anniversary of the death of Henry Vaughan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scintilla is published by the Vaughan Association (formerly the UVVA), founded in the tercentenary year of Henry Vaughan\u2019s death, 23 April 1695; with financial support from the Arts Council of Wales.
\nThe Vaughan Association exists to explore, celebrate, and question the works and lives of Henry Vaughan, poet anddoctor, and his twin brother, the famous alchemist Thomas Vaughan, while encouraging the work of modern writers and artists.<\/p>\n

The two latest volumes, Scintilla<\/i> 22<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Scintilla 23<\/em>, are available from Amazon.com.

\u2018The central concern is with [perceptions of] the interaction between humanity and<\/span><\/p>\n

the matter of the universe, whether cosmic or terrestrial, and above all with
\nthe interaction between contemporary writers and these ideas. This intersection
\nstrikes the spark, the scintilla, of the title. The other themes \u2026 establish
\nideas of continuing interest: the processes of reading and writing in relation
\nto healing,<\/p>\n

language in relation to spiritual or liminal experience, metaphysics<\/span><\/p>\n

in relation to modern science \u2026 Production values are high, there\u2019s a
\nlive liness about the whole undertaking: subscribe!\u2019 [Linda Adams, New
\nW<\/i>elsh Review<\/i>.]<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2026 a wide range of essays \u2026 There is a lot here that is creatively provocative \u2026 It is crucial
\nthat the new poems are part of Scintilla\u2019s enterprise \u2026 Some of the poems seem to me primary \u2026
\nOpenness to experience and to other people, to new forms in some cases, and an unsettledness as to
\nour relationship with the universe and our inner lives perhaps are the marks I\u2019m referring to

\u2018\u2026 not only a handsome production but, in contents, one of the most remarkable new
\narrivals on the Welsh literary scene
