The Woods Are On Fire is Fleda Brown's deeply human and intensely
felt poetic explorations of her life and world. Her account
includes her brain-damaged brother, a rickety family cottage, a
puzzling and sometimes frightening father, a timid mother, and the
adult life that follows with its loves, divorces, and serious
illnesses. Visually and emotionally rich, Brown's poems call on
Einstein, Shakespeare, Sophocles, Law and Order, Elvis, and
Beethoven. They stand before the Venus de Milo as well as the moon,
as they measure distances between what we make as art and who we
are as humans. In wide-ranging forms-from the sestina to prose
poems-they focus on the natural world as well as the Delaware
legislature and the inauguration of William Jefferson Clinton. The
Woods Are On Fire includes nearly fifty new poems, along with poems
selected from seven previous books, showcasing an influential
American poet's work over the last few decades.
