About the Book:
Iron String is the debut poetry collection by Annie Lighthart, published in 2013, known for its lyrical, nature-infused, and spiritually resonant poems that explore the connection between the everyday world and deeper truths, often drawing from Emerson's "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that IRON STRING". The book is praised for its precise observation, magical realism, and ability to find wonder in ordinary details, blending themes of love, grief, and the "more-than-human" world with a confident, musical voice. Taking its title from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s injunction, “Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string,” Annie Lighthart’s first collection of poems lives up to the complexities of that sound, that difficult music of living. Written with a mature lyricism, these poems weave the thread of song through destruction and doubt, through quiet rooms and resilient hours. When reading Iron String we awaken to our own lives, into a world that is wider, deeper, and more dangerously beautiful than we realized before
