Fly Above the Fire

By Alison Sinclair Hord

Book Overview

Driven by a love of words and captivated by the power of imagery, Alison Sinclair Hord seeks to transform her daily experiences-from the shattering to the sublime-into poems that speak directly to the hearts and imaginations of others.

Appealing to all the senses, Hord uses language in dazzling ways, enveloping readers in the words' meanings, in their gentle rhythms, and in their inherent power to deliver us to new understandings of the universe, others, and ourselves.

The poems in this collection are not for the faint of heart, however. Dealing with some of life's grittiest topics, they do not shy away from the realities of life. Sufferers of addictions, broken hearts, loss, and despair will appreciate the honest way Hord deals with these themes-and also the hope she offers for redemption, connection, and love.

Novices and poetry fans alike will delight in surrendering themselves to the power of Hord's message and images, to the tidal wave of emotions they evoke, and to the higher truths they seek to uncover within all of us.
