Description
Burn Lake is a poignant and thought-provoking collection of poems by Carrie Fountain, exploring themes of progress, history, violence, sexuality, and the self. Set against the backdrop of southern New Mexico, where her family's multicultural heritage is deeply rooted, Fountain weaves together the experiences of life in the rapidly changing American Southwest.
The poems are inspired by a letter sent to Don Juan de Oñate, who was dispatched from Mexico City in the late sixteenth century to settle the New Mexico Province. This historical event becomes the starting point for many of the poems, which explore the intersection of past and present, culture and identity.
