Nancy Fisher's images in Flame Dancer flicker, like the flame in
which her personas dance, in a mirror that reflects a montage of
past present and future in three dimensions. The darkness against
which the characters struggle to fend off death makes experience of
her artifice an experience of the dreams in the poets mind. The
"hard gemlike flame" burns with the brilliance of artifice as the
means to life and the conflict is always with the loss of the
spirit that produces the bodiless head of the poet's nightmare. Her
poems are an unforgettable and delightful experience.
Robert Reid, author of Stories of the Sky-God
Nancy Fisher finds the magical within the ordinary, the boundless
within the constraints of traditional forms. Again and again, she
moves gracefully from quotidian to timeless realms in ways that
illuminate each. The range of her subjects, interests, and life
experiences is rich and vast: family life, world travel; great
composers, artists, poets, and saints. This is a book that deserves
our attention.
William Ruleman, author of Profane and Sacred Loves
In her newest volume of poetry, Nancy Fisher widens her gaze from
Family to Community to The World and finally to God. The poems are
carefully crafted, many of them sonnets that put the lie to the
rumor that English is a difficult language to rhyme. Whether
expressing love through "Cleaning the Gutters" or traveling to
Canterbury and thinking of Chaucer ("Pilgrimage"), Fisher creates a
world a reader may enter to see, smell, feel, and taste the poet's
own experience. A collection of poetry to be savored again and
again.
Connie Green, author of The War at Home, Emmy, and Slow, Children
