Pro Reviews: Fire & Flower
The poems in Kasischke's third collection form a kind of ghosted, liquid dream. While, at first, the landscape of the poems might seem familiar enough--Midwestern farmland and family, hostessing and husbandry, kitchens where mothers spin confections--these domestic scenes are rendered so eerily, so full of apparition and milky light, that they are no longer recognizable.
Publisher Notes: Fire & Flower
- Poetry. Three sections often poems each, which revel in the gorgeous possibilities of language even as they acknowledge the impossibility of language to contain the things it describes: "But there will always be/storms & gray//that settle on their shoulders blurred as sparrows//before they fly away. Seasons/and the names for them will change" (from "A is for Almost"). "Kasischke's world...is a world in which grace and horror, beauty and carnage, tragedy and hilarity commingle" (Harvard Review). Kasischke is the author of two previous collections of poems, Wild Brides and Housekeeping In A Dream, and the novel Suspicious River. She has been the recipient of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and currently teaches at Washtenaw Community College in Michigan.
