Here There is Also Burning

Here There is Also Burning is Stewart S. Warren?s tenth full-length collection of poetry. Whatever your poetic tastes, core beliefs or temperament, you will not be able to read this book complacently. You will engage it emotionally, intellectually, spiritually or, more likely, in some combination thereof. Here There is Also Burning is a fusion of dearly held and deeply ingrained American character, folklore and myth. Warren doesn?t simply talk about these things: his poetry embodies them. He has listened long and patiently to this land and its people, and his voice is, like Walt Whitman?s and Woody Guthrie?s, a genuine and compelling vernacular whorl, a transformative narration and description of the Southwest that goes cosmic.
