In \u003ci\u003eSmall Fires\u003c\/i\u003e, Julie Marie Wade recreates the landscape of her childhood with a lacemaker's care, then turns that precise attention on herself. There are floating tea lights in the bath, coddled blossoms in the garden, and a mother straddling her teenage daughter's back, astringent in hand, to better scrub her not-quite-presentable pores. And throughout, Wade traces this lost world with the same devotion as her mother among her award-winning roses. \u003ci\u003eSmall Fires\u003c\/i\u003e is essay as elegy, but it is also essay as parsing, reconciliation, and celebration, all in the attempt to answer the question--what have you given up in order to become who you are?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulie Marie Wade is the author of \u003ci\u003eWishbone: A Memoir in Fractures\u003c\/i\u003e (Colgate University Press, 2010) and the poetry collections Without (Finishing Line Press, 2010) and\u003ci\u003e Postage Due \u003c\/i\u003e(White Pine Press, 2013).
