Praise for this book
"Connie Wanekis superb, mature, [and] a master of mood and language."--St. Paul Pioneer Press "With a quirky combination of humor and seriousness, Duluth poet Connie Wanek infuses her debut volume, Bonfire, with imaginative vision. Inanimate objects come alive in her poems." --Star Tribune "No poet I know, with the exception of Jane Kenyon, is as able to discover the magic and depth in ordinary, day-to-day life and to do artfully render that vision for the reader." --Louis Jenkins
