Synopsis

Mineral Fire is a reflection on time and the poet's melting into it to embrace the individual and the universal, the everyday that is substance between past and present. Her poems plunge a dagger into us where it hurts the most: what we have done for the dignity of humankind, that of others, our own, with our name that carries our own identity inscribed in it? "What if you are nobody?" "And what if no one is each one of us?"
