<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"These are poems fiercely needed in school libraries. Through girlhood memory, first dresses and first periods, first two-stepping gay bars and fake IDs, first heart breaks, across oceans, deep in the recesses of our society's darkest scars, these powerful poems do not shy away from trauma and pain." - Jenn Givhan, author of Rosa's Einstein<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Fire--its light and passion, is an apt metaphor for these rich, compelling, and deeply felt poems. It takes its form in many ways in these resonant, powerful, and completely riveting calls for justice, kindness, and attention to those parts of ourselves that illumine the dark we live in today. These are poems that activate every page, with guttural imagery and sure craft of the form. Whether limning the course of a deep love, providing a safe space to children learning poetry for the first time, shouting the proud acknowledgment of the body, or examining the ruins of terror's aftermath, Kai Coggin proposes--no, urges--that we use that inherent fire within us, to grow not only our own lives, but to illumine and help the lives of others. These are poems of protest and praise, poems of a unique and adamant voice, who shows us what we can hope for, as well as what we can truly achieve in loving one another." - Philip F. Clark, author of <em>The Carnival of Affection</em></p>
