How to Carry Fire
How to Carry Fire was born from the ashes of family addiction. Her work recognises embers everywhere: in farmhouses, heroin needles, poisonous salamanders. Beginning with the burning down of her childhood home, Thatcher explores how fire can both destroy and cleanse.
Underneath and among the flames runs the American and Welsh landscapes - locations which, like fire itself, offer up experiences which mesmerise, burn and purify. Thatcher reveals how fire is internalised and disclosed through anxiety, addiction, passion and love. This poignant second collection reminds us of how the most dangerous and volatile fires can forge us - even long after the flames have died
