Widely published poet Marjorie Sparkman Jackson brings readers "Dancing Fire". Focusing on the human spirit through a perspective of ancient and classical literature and mythology, ranging from Zeus to Adam and Ever, the scope proves effective, and leads to moving verse. Solid work all around, "Dancing Fire" is worth thinking about for poetry readers. "Immortality": Feathered wonder, prey of kings,/In flight eternally, bring/a new horizon as you wing your way/To where the angels sing.
