Gail Langstroth's firegarden is a collection of intimate and "between"
spaces through which a woman honors the life she's lived. Urgent
meditations are born of "the smallest piece of ocean," dropped stitches,
and the daily need for milk and bread. These sparse poems are marked
with the flames and ash of loss, but draw strength from a resilient and
transient natural world. Langstroth captures the raw fire of emotions we
often struggle to name, those aches that remind us we are alive.
