Know about the book -

Fire Songs is written by David Harsent and published by Faber & Faber. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0571316093 (ISBN 10) and 9780571316090 (ISBN 13).

The poems in David Harsent's new collection, whether single poems, dramatic sequences, or poems that 'belong to one another', share a dark territory and a sometimes haunting, sometimes steely, lyrical tone. Throughout the book - in the stark biography of 'Songs from the Same Earth', the troubling disconnects of 'A Dream Book', the harrowing lines of connection in four poems each titled 'Fire', or the cheek-by-jowl shudder of 'Sang the Rat' - Harsent writes, as always, with passion and a sureness of touch.
