Color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Notes, Acknowledgments, About the Author, and About the Type. First Edition "Returning to the range, structure, and lyric quality of the national bestseller Ants on the Melon, Virginia Hamilton Adair's new collection of poetry, Living on Fire, establishes more firmly than ever this writer's literary eminence. In clear, memorable poems - about love in its many variations, about music, about the American desert, about mortality, and about her own blindness - the poet speaks to her readers with a directness distinctly American, and with feeling enhanced and deepened by technical rigor" [from the dust jacket]. In all, there are 66 poems in this volume. Virginia Hamilton Adair (1913-2004), an American educator and poet, had more than 70 poems published in major journals and magazines, but only late in life did she publish in book form three collections of her poems, Ants on the Melon, Beliefs and Blasphemies, and this present volume, Living on Fire, all three of which were very well received.
