About this product
Product Information
What Fire is about how to continue as catastrophe crawls in, when the climate crisis has its grip on everyone, the internet has been shut down, and the buildings are burning up. What happens when the philosophers never arrive? What songs are still worth singing? In her third collection, Alice Miller takes a fierce, unflinching look at the world we live in, at what we have made, and whether it is possible to change.

Reviews
For previous work: "These poems are genuinely unpredictable, a rare thing, and their momentary stances or voice-postures have about them an air of irrepressible fiat." Vidyan Ravinthiran, Poetry Book Society For previous work: "Miller has written a curious and searching book that elegantly balances themes of love, loss and remembrance. This slim volume of poetry is incredibly ambitious in scope." Jack Solloway, The London Magazine "Miller is a poet of concept as much as rhythm and sound, who is unafraid to stand in the naked light of artistic insufficiency, and ask her questions, and leave behind her declarations of love and goodness." Juliano Zaffino "More Miracle Than Bird will ring in my mind's ear for a long time, and I will return to its pages. A wonderful book!" Jay Parini "Only a wildly gifted novelist could give us this terrific tale of Georgie Hyde-Lees and her some-time suitor, the much older poet W.B. Yeats. Written with superb emotional rightness." Joan Silber For previous work: "Alice Miller looks hard at history's terrifying straight lines, yet time and again turns to the obsessive, sometimes redemptive circlings of art. She knows that in a universe ruled by time and death, words can both rescue and destroy us, sometimes in a single utterance" Bill Manhire For previous work: "Alice Miller knows what is at stake in the infinitesimal, the split second, the infra-thin. The poems in her scintillating collection, Nowhere Nearer, make us aware of how precarious the earth's crust is, how treacherous the ambient oceans can be, and how ephemeral we ourselves are as we traverse great distances through the air." Ranjit Hoskote, For previous work: "These poems are genuinely unpredictable, a rare thing, and their momentary stances or voice-postures have about them an air of irrepressible fiat."

Ranjit Hoskote "Alice Miller takes a critical lens to our current malaise, tackling the current decline of our climate and planet to the way technology has both advanced and stunted human civilizations. A collection which feels as if it's somehow speaking to us all." Anthony Anaxagorou "Everyone has a hand in the fire, everyone is responsible for the flames that will come to 'each' town. Miller's poetry subtly calls to individual agency and what we stand to lose by making selfish choices. [...] What Fire is concerned with our capacity to change while examining the world on the point of a precipice. [...] The end is not the end, but a chance to start again." Charlie Baylis, Wild Court, 'You can write pessimistically but still produce great poetry. That's the message to take from Alice Miller's third collection, What Fire . The title poem is a nightmarish fantasia, with sinister overtones of "night and fog" resonating with recent European history. As with much of Miller's work, it is both chastening and brilliant.' Nicholas Reid, The New Zealand Listener, For previous work: "These poems are genuinely unpredictable, a rare thing, and their momentary stances or voice-postures have about them an air of irrepressible fiat."

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
