About The Fire Landscape:

"The Fire Landscape is an eloquent addition to a masterful body of work by one of our best multi-genre writers."
—Michael Waters

"No one is better than Gary Fincke at locating grand gestures inside the fragile details that make up a life. . . . The old dangers, the old fears, rise before us with radioactive language and an exactness of phrase, of line, that feels like catechism."
—Fleda Brown

"[A] remarkable series of poetic sequences . . . a bildungsroman for a generation that grew up watching the horizon for a different glow, the almost-wished-for atomic bomb. Few poets have so unnervingly located the personal at the imploding heart of a particular historical epoch."
—James Harms
