Sorry about the Fire

By Colleen Coco Collins

Book Overview

A CBC Books' Poetry Collection to Watch for in Spring 2024 - 3rd Prize Alcuin Award for Book Design in Poetry

I wanted a good bewildering, / down deep, / as the keep of a castle.

With a voice as ungovernable and determined as Prometheus-who stole fire from Zeus only to face dire consequences--Colleen Coco Collins' debut poems are daring dispatches from beyond the margins: light-filled flares sent up from the edge of language, sentience, land, and story. Drawing on all of her multidisciplinary enamorations and rendered through the triple vision of her Irish, French, and Odawa heritage, Sorry About the Fire introduces not just a poet, but a stunningly original sensibility.
