Fire Rainbow by Robin Anna Smith is a genre-bending and emotionally charged collection. By employing the haibun and tanka story forms, the poet masterfully shows us the versatility of these Japanese prose poems. They unflinchingly lay their soul bare within these pages, delineating a traumatic childhood, "shards of adolescence, " and the spiral that follows in an attempt to make sense of the "self." We are co-passengers on the poet's dissociative journey as she uncovers her past and finally escapes its menacing "tentacles." This raw, bold, and seething collection begs us to stop asking the "wrong question, " urging us, instead, to redefine and "detonate the map" of the human body as we know it. - SHLOKA SHANKAR, Founding Editor of Sonic Boom & Yavanika PressIf we don't have disturbing witness statements free of news censorship, then we do not have real freedom of information. Poems as witness statements fly in the face of the secrets that are wrongly protected over decades through privilege and fear. These poems, in the form of blending prose with haiku or tanka poetry, and other variations, come through with actual truth: not filtered pretence of truth and transparency. They should be etched onto every court building, every abusive home, and where politicians enter to do their business.- ALAN SUMMERS, Co-founder, Call of the Page
