Anna Enquist

The Fire was Here
The poems in The Fire Was Here bring together the three themes of Anna Enquist's adult life - music, psychology and motherhood - in an autobiographical harvest. These are poems about ordinary life written with extraordinary sensitivity and insight. A courageous and insightful collection, it stirs us with the powerful and emotional moments we all recognize - the touch of tenderness, the ache of longing, and the sweep of passion.
