firegarden / jardín-de-fuego

by Gail Langstroth

Gail Langstroth's firegarden is a collection of intimate and "between" spaces through which a woman honors the life she's lived. Urgent meditations are born of "the smallest piece of ocean," dropped stitches, and the daily need for milk and bread. These sparse poems are marked with the flames and ash of loss, but draw strength from a resilient and transient natural world. Langstroth captures the raw fire of emotions we often struggle to name, those aches that remind us we are alive.
