Beskrivning
The Fire Landscape is a series of poem sequences that chronicle a wide variety of coming-of-age moments from childhood in the 1950s through the beginning of the 21st century. These deeply layered, complex narrative poems are connected by close personal observation of place and time but also by the politics of the Cold War and its aftermath, including a sequence driven by the May 4, 1970, shooting of students by the National Guard at Kent State where Gary Fincke was a student at the time.

Recensioner i media

The Fire Landscape is an eloquent addition to a masterful body of work by one of our best multi-genre writers." - Michael Waters, author of Darling Vulgarity"No one is better than Gary Fincke at locating grand gestures inside the fragile details that make up a life.... The old dangers, the old fears, rise before us with radioactive language and an exactness of phrase, of line, that feels like catechism." - Fleda Brown, author of Reunion"[A] remarkable series of poetic sequences... a bildungsroman for a generation that grew up watching the horizon for a different glow, the almost-wished-for atomic bomb. Few poets have so unnervingly located the personal at the imploding heart of a particular historical epoch." - James Harms, author of After West
