Paperback. Condition: New. "Em Strang's poetry reminds us that right dwelling is not just a theoretical or ideological concern; it must also be rooted in the gravity that structures everything, rich in the old pagan knowledge and unafraid to find a home for what we do not fully understand. Bird-Woman is a delicious collection, a book to be savoured in the fullest sense." -John Burnside "Em Strang's poems are shamanic, in that they restore to us abandoned mythologies. Nothing is stable in this very real world, where houses can become birds, where the animal lies shallowly below the surface of the human, where poems are haunted with what is unsaid. An 'old throat from the other side', full of bewilderment, concern, passion and beauty." -Jen Hadfield.

Paperback. Condition: New. Firebird explores the fires of destruction and rebirth, both literal and spiritual. Each poem invites the reader to consider 'the necessity of mystery', where grief and joy, death and rebirth, stagnation and transformation exist alongside one another, 'exactly as they are'. In two sections of ekphrastic poems, Em Strang engages with visual art by American painter and erstwhile nun, Meinrad Craighead, and Italian Baroque painter, Caravaggio. The poems speak specifically to Craighead's 2004 Bosque Fire series - images made in the wake of a devastating fire on the banks of the Rio Grande in New Mexico where she lived - and to a number of Caravaggio's religious paintings made between 1595 and 1609.Firebird is an invitation into a unitive perspective, where the source of all creation 'is a presence that protects us from nothing, even while it sustains us in all things' and where 'even if we burn to death, the fire is trustworthy' (James Finley). These are poems of radical love and courage in the face of ongoing fire."Em Strang is that rare thing - a writer who can effortlessly combine contemporary issues - environment, climate change, identity, gender - with an interrogation of the seldom-visited spiritual hinterland of our lives. Her poetry displays astonishing depth - this is work that reaches far beyond the everyday into the fundamental importance of things. Each poem is like a little flame lit somewhere in us as we read. Firebird is the sort of poetry we really need today - gripping, essential and highly accessible; poems we can't help but visit again and again - built to last; made to be remembered." -John Glenday.
