{"product_id":"flame-dancer-nancy-fisher-9781935514022","title":"Flame Dancer","description":"Nancy Fisher's images in \u003cem\u003eFlame Dancer\u003c\/em\u003e flicker, like the flame in which her personas dance, in a mirror that reflects a montage of past present and future in three dimensions. The darkness against which the characters struggle to fend off death makes experience of her artifice an experience of the dreams in the poets mind. The \"hard gemlike flame\" burns with the brilliance of artifice as the means to life and the conflict is always with the loss of the spirit that produces the bodiless head of the poet's nightmare. Her poems are an unforgettable and delightful experience. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Reid\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eStories of the Sky-God\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nancy Fisher finds the magical within the ordinary, the boundless within the constraints of traditional forms. Again and again, she moves gracefully from quotidian to timeless realms in ways that illuminate each. The range of her subjects, interests, and life experiences is rich and vast: family life, world travel; great composers, artists, poets, and saints. This is a book that deserves our attention. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Ruleman\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eProfane and Sacred Loves\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In her newest volume of poetry, Nancy Fisher widens her gaze from Family to Community to The World and finally to God. The poems are carefully crafted, many of them sonnets that put the lie to the rumor that English is a difficult language to rhyme. Whether expressing love through \"Cleaning the Gutters\" or traveling to Canterbury and thinking of Chaucer (\"Pilgrimage\"), Fisher creates a world a reader may enter to see, smell, feel, and taste the poet's own experience. A collection of poetry to be savored again and again. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eConnie Green\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eThe War at Home, Emmy, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSlow, Children Playing\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Fisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935514024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935514022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plain View Press, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.21d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nancy Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486386172159,"sku":"9781935514022","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2681585-58cc-418b-8f80-e7abb7fbed23.jpg?v=1778055208","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flame-dancer-nancy-fisher-9781935514022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
