In the shadow of her words, a cold wind kicks up. Then slowly, deftly, she weaves a 25-part hymn to steadfastness and grace, to a lifetime of physical deprivation, spiritual yearning and barely held-back exultation in each sensory gift. Each poem in \u003ci\u003eBurn\u003c\/i\u003e leaves its imprint, its scald-mark, on us.\u003cbr\u003e-Charles Adès Fishman, Winner of the 2012 New Millennium Award for Poetry \u0026amp; the 2014 Aesthetica Creative Writing Award for Poetry \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStrongin puts the verve back into verse.
