After So Many Fires: Synopsis
After So Many Fires explores the tension of myth and modernity, faith and doubt, and the strange (often violent) interplay between humanity and the natural world. The poems seek moments of cohesion, of harmony, even in an age of moral and environmental catastrophe. The severed arm of Grendel twitches on a classroom floor. A father builds his monument. Achilles is lost in a sea of smartphones. A child gazes into the "other space" of an aquarium. In each of these instances, the sentimental is met with suspicion and the project of self-actualization is abandoned. After So Many Fires champions what G.K. Chesterton calls, “the democracy of the dead." It invites readers to position their sorrows and delights within the larger context of human history, myth, and abiding faith.
