Poetry. THE FIRST THING is a chapbook consisting of nine poems that explore our relationships to one another and to the world in which we live. Kirwan's poetry asks questions about what connects us to love, to our childhoods, to dreams, to the future, and even to the electric and telephone companies. "Take heavy weather, for example,/ and dreams that occur as polarities,/ as salt you toss a pinch of over your shoulder;/ beads in a ring to protect you, blue as Russian sage . . ."-from "Sage, Moon and Saturn." Anna Kirwan is also the author of the young adult novel, The Jewel of Life, and the poetry collection, The Alchemist's Retort.
