Anna Rose Welch's We, the Almighty Fires is a testament to poetry's ability to render the body's erasure through verbal beauty and grace. There is a keen attention to music in these poems--a crafting of sound as sturdy as an ark in a biblical flood and as obsessive as the water's recursive singing. Sensual and smart, Welch's debut collection blazes with wild splendor. --Eugene Gloria The terms of worship in Anna Rose Welch's first book are by turns erotic and elegiac: both the body and the page are sites of prayer. Welch's poems seek out desires and histories too long submerged, if not already lost, and she reclaims them in a series of gorgeous apocrypha. What results is this sexy reliquary, these poems that threaten to catch fire as soon you read them. --Christopher Bakken
