Torch the Empty Fields reveals the voices of mothers, daughters, friends, partners, and even the earth Herself. Examining personal and social loss and celebrating survival, these are wry and graceful poems of witness and new beginnings, a reflective collection inspired by Virgil's poem of nature and the land, The Georgics. When you torch the fields, the new growth is lush; the narrative poems in this deft work explore our burning struggles and the wonders of life.
