Book Launch: Marie Zhuikov for High Fire Danger

Zenith Bookstore is delighted to help launch Marie Zhuikov’s new poetry book High Fire Danger. Marie will share from this beautiful book and take questions about her 38-year journey in writing it. There will be fresh baked cookies and sparkling cider to add to the party. Please invite a friend or two to help us celebrate!

In High Fire Danger, Marie Zhuikov meditates on the transformative power of love and the magic and menace of nature. Written over the past thirty-eight years, Zhuikov’s enchanting poems offer unique insights and cutting humor. They take readers from her home in Minnesota to far-flung locales across the Great Lakes, Canada, Scotland, the Caribbean, and even to another planet. These accessible poems are filled with the heat and longing of romantic love, but also a deep love for family, community, and nature. They’ll scorch your soul like wildfire.
