SIGLUM PUBLISHING, launched in 2019, focuses on the illuminative and transformative possibilities of the arts, music, poetry and culture to make the world a better place.
Its titles explore the practical links between aesthetics and personal, interpersonal and societal change.
We are also interested in biography, letters and papers related to those involved in social and cultural concerns more widely.
