Summary: Carrie Fountain speaks about her debut collection Burn Lake, a book in which focused self-awareness burnishes her observations of her childhood and adolesence in New Mexico. Fountain's poetry attempts to recapture the infinite hope and inescapable loss that accompany growing up, a time before "the unseen, unwished for present" got in the way.
