A cresset is a metal cup or basket, containing something flammable.
The White Cresset Arts Journal wants to be the fuel and receptacle for your flames, blazing bright in the never-ending dark. Send us that spark, that first flash of irridiscent crimson, or send us bonfires and explosions, threatening to consume restless days and restless nights. Send us the flame.
