Fire & Flower

By Laura Kasischke

Subjects: American poetry, 20th century poetry, Poetry, Women authors, American women authors, Poetry (poetic works by one author)

Description: The poems in <em>Fire & Flower</em> are about the images that hold the world together in the mind of a child, a woman, and the mother she becomes. The metaphors used to describe their lives are mysterious and frightening, and they accumulate in this collection as a full expression of the awe that makes us all live.
