Fire

The poems in Fire explore the element's many guises, from the hot sun to fiery volcanoes, form the legend of Icarus to the Great Fire of London, and from fireworks in the dark night sky to the bright festival candles of Divali.

Shape poems, funny and thoughtful poems, traditional and new poems, each very different from the next, and full of surprises, but all sharing an elemental link.

The Elements in Poetry series brings together an exciting mix of poetical works form near and far on earth, fire, water, and air, with images that leap off the page.

The books are a delightful introduction to a rich variety of poetry which cannot fail to make readers young and old think anew about the amazing world that we live in.
