Resources are scarce and uncertainty is everywhere. What does it mean to survive? To leave behind a home torn apart by war? To carry the burden of what you've seen across an ocean? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese poems follow a man in search of security as he leaves his country for America, falls in love, and becomes a single father to three daughters. Through the perspective of one man, his family, and even his country, Set to Music a Wildfire explores the violence of living, the guilt of surviving, the loneliness of faith, and the impossible task of belonging.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRuth Awad\u003c\/b\u003e is a Lebanese-American poet, a 2021 NEA Poetry fellow, and the author of \u003ci\u003eOutside the Joy\u003c\/i\u003e (Third Man Books, 2024) and \u003ci\u003eSet to Music a Wildfire\u003c\/i\u003e (Southern Indiana Review Press, 2017), winner of the 2016 Michael Waters Poetry Prize and the 2018 Ohioana Book Award for Poetry.
