Reviews
Previous praise for Fleda Brown's poetry: "To read these poems is to look through a newly washed window; the world is strangely bright and, at the same time, frighteningly familiar. This is a difficult effect to achieve--one that only succeeds when it is not an effect but something effortless. In [Brown's] hands, effort is invisible."--Judith Kitchen, The Georgia Review "Reading a poem by Brown is a lesson in how to read one's life, how each small thing, each seemingly casual detail, is in fact connected to perceptions and understandings of profound significance that we can all divine if only we calm our vision enough to fully experience the perishing present."-- World Literature Today, "Reading a poem by Brown is a lesson in how to read one's life, how each small thing, each seemingly casual detail, is in fact connected to perceptions and understandings of profound significance that we can all divine if only we calm our vision enough to fully experience the perishing present."-- World Literature Today, "The complexities and complications of the poet who is among and yet stands back, and who understands the limits of life yet yearns and hungers for everything life has within it, are offered in The Woods Are On Fire, and the pleasures and challenges of great poetry can both be found in this necessary book by Fleda Brown."--Adrian Koesters, Split Rock Review, Previous praise for Fleda Brown's poetry: "To read these poems is to look through a newly washed window; the world is strangely bright and, at the same time, frighteningly familiar. This is a difficult effect to achieve--one that only succeeds when it is not an effect, but something effortless. In [Brown's] hands, effort is invisible."--Judith Kitchen, The Georgia Review "Reading a poem by Brown is a lesson in how to read one's life, how each small thing, each seemingly casual detail, is in fact connected to perceptions and understandings of profound significance that we can all divine if only we calm our vision enough to fully experience the perishing present."-- World Literature Today, "This is the kind of light-filled book we use to see the world more clearly and make our way forward--and we do it with a poem in each hand, as Kooser recommends."--Julie Larios, Numero Cinq
