The world is burning with fire and hatred, but at the same time it is filled with love and incredible beauty. The poems in Burn tango with why the world is so beautiful and terrible at the same time. Hamby asserts that everything is a mess--how do we walk through it laughing and crying? Sometimes you look back and think, "How was I so lucky? I could have died a thousand times, but I didn't. But I will."
