The Fireman's Daughter

In The Fireman's Daughter Jonathan Kinsman uses his theological background to present a bruised, searing, and occasionally claustrophobic examination of the human condition. Kinsman's poems are gripping, restless, and feel like there is always something at stake. Comfortable in myriad forms, terminally horny, with admirable self-confidence and bravado Kinsman is a poet "frightened of who we are in winter...frightened of what we will burn".
