Who Will Make the Fire
Spearheading a new generation of female poets, award-winning screenwriter, director, actress, and poet Greta Bellamacina writes with a liquid musicality and existential complexity, influenced by the French Surrealist poets, Sylvia Plath, and Anne Sexton.
In her new collection Who Will Make The Fire, published in association with New River Press, Bellamacina employs metaphors of wind, dawn, trees, and fire to explore an interior world. This personal book about love, loss, nature, depression, and recovery, sees the wind in Who Will Make the Fire become the biographer of the self; a way to trace this ever-evolving garden, that must die, again and again, like a wild bird shedding its unimaginable feathers.
Who Will Make The Fire questions what it is to really live, to live with stillness and fire; to combat the digital world and to get back to the earth and let the hidden circle of nature find its way back into the self.
Who Will Make The Fire is a spell-binding collection of poems — Nick Cave
Dreamlike, with bite. Bellamacina's work is brutal, floral, blood-soaked and knowing, in the way that nature is both cruel and beautiful — Florence Welch
Elegiac, guttural, and gorgeous. To sit down and read them is such a welcoming halting of time. — Pandora Sykes
