Beskrivning
Rain, Wind, Thunder, Fire, Daughter is a story about leaving religion and coming of age in a world of accelerating climate apocalypses and environmental loss. In her debut collection of poems, H. G. Dierdorff interweaves an investigation of wildfires in Eastern Washington with a personal account of growing up in Christian fundamentalism, calling our attention to the violent histories undergirding both.“I want you to touch the fire / sparking from my lips” the opening sonnet commands, daring the reader to abandon the safety of analytical distance and draw near to the moment of ignition itself. The voice that emerges is incessant, ecstatic, explosive. Fire erupts from every page, multiplying into rage, desire, judgement, responsibility, and renewal. A love song to the forests of the Pacific Northwest, a dramatic portrait of a daughter struggling to find her place in her family, and a philosophical exploration of the limits of language and belief, this collection demands the necessity of both pleasure and grief as responses to a world on fire.

Recensioner i media

“Combining formal rigor and experimentation, personal lyric and documentary poetics, Dierdorff has penned a book unlike any other: a feminist field guide to the Anthropocene, a secular hymn "for the uncertainty of what will grow" after wildfire, a sonnet sequence whose true beloved is the imperiled world.” —Brian Teare, author of Poem Bitten by a Man  “It is love that fuels the fires raging through these poems, love expressed in this work’s careful craft, its networked, allusive language, its musicality and lyric beauty—love not as a received form, but as a constantly renewing creative act.” —Allison Cobb, author of Plastic: An Autobiography
