Sorry About the Fire

Mehr zum Buch

I wanted a good bewildering, / down deep, / as the keep of a castle. With a voice as ungovernable and determined as Prometheus--who stole fire from Zeus only to face dire consequences--Colleen Coco Collins' debut poems are daring dispatches from beyond the margins: light-filled flares sent up from the edge of language, sentience, land, and story. Drawing on all of her multidisciplinary enamorations and rendered through the triple vision of her Irish, French, and Odawa heritage, Sorry About the Fire introduces not just a poet, but a stunningly original sensibility.
