This is an excellent short collection from a poet that I have, unfortunately, not heard of before. Not sure where I picked this one up from as it was one of many unread books that I recently unpacked and my memory is often s*&t.
Read it in one sitting - basically devoured it. It has quite an intensity. A nearly perfect blending of the political and the intensely personal.
A History of Burning is a fantastic poem. One that will easily find its way into my favorites.
Its last line is simply:
"I have no more patience for talk."
How absolutely fitting on a night like this.
