No experience is more fulfilling than reading the work of a writer who is a master of her craft--of feeling like the book you are immersed in is an entire world. This is what it is like reading Danusha Laméris' Bonfire Opera. Everything is alive in these poems, even loss. Even death. In these finely crafted lyrics, worms, berries, skin, hawks, dirt and desire exist and even thrive in a symbiotic relationship that is a model for a new way of thinking. If a book can be smart and funny and dark and wise and vulnerable and beautiful all at the same time, this one is. In one of her best poems, Laméris writes, 'This is what I've made here, a garden, a feast.' That's for sure. Bonfire Opera is a feast you'll want to devour and a garden that will never stop yielding., "No experience is more fulfilling than reading the work of a writer who is a master of her craft--of feeling like the book you are immersed in is an entire world.

In melodic and sumptuous lines, she considers desire, sorrow, beauty and death. This is a collection you will want to keep close, 'a reminder to begin, again, by listening carefully with the body's rapt attention.', "The poems in Bonfire Opera frame a vibrant folk opera. Each offers part of an unfinished story, a balance of music and imagery. The storyteller is both an observer and participant, unraveling the story with the thread of what remains unspoken. In this outstanding series of poems, there is something waiting to be said, something to be revealed, as each poem draws us onward like a bird trying 'to escape... throwing itself, again and again, against the stained glass.' The bird and the 'ghost child' call out to each of us to 'begin again.'" --Colleen J.

Synopsis
Winner, 2021 Northern California Book Award Finalist, 2021 Patterson Poetry Prize Sometimes the most compelling landscapes are the ones where worlds collide: where a desert meets the sea, a civilization, no-man's land. Here in Bonfire Opera, grief and Eros grapple in the same domain. A bullet-hole through the heart, a house full of ripe persimmons, a ghost in a garden. Coyotes cry out on the hill, and lovers find themselves kissing, "bee-stung, drunk" in the middle of road. Here, the dust is holy, as is the dark, unknown. These are poems that praise the impossible, wild world, finding beauty in its wake., Sometimes the most compelling landscapes are the ones where worlds collide: where a desert meets the sea, a civilization, no-man's land. Here in Bonfire Opera, grief and Eros grapple in the same domain. A bullet-hole through the heart, a house full of ripe persimmons, a ghost in a garden. Coyotes cry out on the hill, and lovers find themselves kissing, "bee-stung, drunk" in the middle of road. Here, the dust is holy, as is the dark, unknown. These are poems that praise the impossible, wild world, finding beauty in its wake. Excerpt from " Bonfire Opera" In those days, there was a woman in our circle who was known, not only for her beauty, but also for taking off all her clothes and singing opera. And sure enough, as the night wore on and the stars emerged to stare at their reflections on the sea, and everyone had drunk a little wine, she began to disrobe, loose her great bosom and the tender belly, pale in the moonlight, the Viking hips, and to let her torn raiment fall to the sand as we looked up from the flames.
