In Tending to the Fire, Greg Bower explores what it means to carry love, loss, longing, memory, and hope through the ordinary days of a life. Across fifty poems arranged in five sections, he finds emotional truth in storms, trees, rivers, mountains, bruises, empty rooms, and the quiet gestures that bind one life to another.
These poems move from the first sparks of love through heartbreak and reckoning toward resilience, gratitude, and renewed possibility. Direct, intimate, and rich in natural imagery, this collection speaks to anyone who has held on, let go, or discovered that healing is less an ending than a fire that must continually be tended.
Tending to the Fire is a candid meditation on the wounds we carry, the people who shape us, and the small flames of beauty and connection that keep us moving forward.
