There Is Fire Here: Essays

By Lania Knight

Lania Knight's debut collection There Is Fire Here includes fifteen striking personal essays that span nearly a lifetime. Knight left home at sixteen on the back of a motorbike and never looked back. Her writing examines questions of parenthood, fidelity and promiscuity, private and public violence, gender identity, and why and how we write. In these essays, we see what it means to escape and to find ourselves caught in a cycle of coercion and abuse. Transformation comes slow and dear, but Knight's writing shines in the heart of the fire, where the self emerges unbroken and true.
