Publisher's Synopsis
From sudden loss and grief, to joy and exaltation, The Earth-Fires and Other Poems is a remarkable orphic journey undertaken by poet, author, and musician Sarah Mougenot-Newton between 2019 and 2025. These incredible poems of breath-taking honesty are at times shocking and harrowing, but never nihilistic; they show a mind wrestling with the greatest and hardest parts of life-the loss of a soul-mate, and the journey back from the Underworld thereafter. They are an ultimately joyous affirmation that life, in all its chaotic intensity, is worth the living-and the celebration.
