An American Girl and Other Poems is a sweeping, heartfelt journey across the landscapes of a nation - and the landscapes of the human soul. In this richly varied collection, Sarah Condor-Fisher, poet, attorney, immigrant, and observer of life's luminous contradictions, weaves together patriotism, memory, humor, longing, and profound reflection.
From the opening poem, An American Girl, which captures the innocence and fire of a young nation, to Ode to the Spangled and the Striped, a stirring tribute to America's enduring spirit, the collection embraces both the grandeur and the grit of the American story. Pieces such as Huddled Masses and An Immigrant's Ode speak to the eternal journey toward hope and belonging, while California, Here I Come! and The Land of Gold celebrate the restless promise of the Western frontier.
Dr. Fisher moves effortlessly between the personal and the universal. Poems like The Sun Will Shine Again, Another Ordinary Day, and A Thousand Tomorrows offer solace and renewal, while The Warrior, Wars, and The Third Coming confront conflict - both worldly and internal - with unwavering clarity. Her wit sparkles in A Pill-Age Complaint, Political Limerick, and There's a Lawyer at Every Corner, while tenderness permeates I Love You True, A Summer Stroll, and My Duffy.
This is a collection of many Americas:
-the immigrant's America, full of striving and gratitude;
-the poet's America, alive with wonder;
-the frontier's America, rugged and vast;
-and the everyday America, where small moments become sacred.
Through over fifty poems that span subjects from family to history, wildlife to city streets, courtroom battles to cosmic musings, An American Girl paints a portrait of a nation that is ever-changing yet ever-rooted in courage, dreams, and resilience.
A book for lovers of poetry, history, and the quiet revelations of daily life, this collection invites readers to rediscover America - not as a place, but as a living, breathing spirit.
