Kasischke is the author of two previous collections of poems, Wild Brides and Housekeeping in a Dream and the novel Suspicious River. She teaches at Washtenaw Community College in Michigan.
As a poetry of the entangled passionate and familial tragedies that poets in postwar America have opted to write into the public record, I have found no collection of poems more moving or profoundly aware or skilled with intensity and restraing than this one.

Fire & Flower
This is one I'll go back to. I read it a bit too quickly. I especially like the opening poem, "Hostess" and "Faith is a Long Commute," which I've read somewhere before.
A Long Commute
Faith is a long commute. Lots
of time to change
the station on the radio, time
to relieve the past, to consider
the future the way
the boy in the bust station
standing by the trashcan
the afternoon the bomb went off
must have had time to consider
his own hands carefully in his hand. The road
is narrow and it goes
straight through the gardens of Paradise. Lots
of soggy godhearts dripping
blood on their bloody vines. Behind me
a beautiful blind girl carries a Bible
home in a plastic bag, while
before me, an old
woman and her old mother
drive a Cadillac over
the flowers slowly.
