"Pattiann Rogers has written about motherhood, art, science, spirituality, and the tension between humanity and wildness. Firekeeper presents the best work from Rogers's thirty-year career in one compact book, including such favorite poems as "Suppose Your Father Was a Redbird," "The Hummingbird: A Seduction," "Animals and People: 'The Human Heart in Conflict with Itself,'" and "Rolling Naked in the Morning Dew." This new edition reflects the poet's own selection from her work and has been expanded to include poems from her five books published since Firekeeper was first released in 1994."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description

One of America’s major contemporary poets, Pattiann Rogers is known for her penetrating perception, striking imagery, and intricate sense of the often elusive connections between humankind and their world. For Firekeeper, Rogers has assembled her best work, deleting some poems from the original edition and adding others. Here are such resonant older poems as "Suppose Your Father Was a Redbird" and "Rolling Naked in the Morning Dew," along with such masterful new poems as "The Dream of the Marsh Wren: Reciprocal Creation," "Born of a Rib," and "Generations."
