Fragments from the Fire , winner of the Walt Whitman Award for 1986, is a narrative poem based on the Triangle Shirtwaist Company fire in which 146 garment workers were killed. Llewellyn re-creates the lives of these workers, mostly immigrant women, the conditions that led to their deaths, and the varying reactions to that tragedy. The story is told in "fragments" testimonies, journal entries, letters from which we can piece together a recollection of not only the fire but also the historical period in which it occurred.
Grace Bauer, formerly with New Orleans, P.L.
