Description
"An immersive story of a changing landscape, innovatively told."

--KIRKUS

When a wildfire bears down on a mountain community,
residents are forced to gather for safety--resulting in a tangle of love and
lust that pulls people from their isolation, friendships that form across
political divides, and a new hope for rethinking the ways humans inhabit the
burning planet. Playing with Wildfire is a literary landscape
that is an experiment in form: an astrology report; a grant
application-turned-love-story; a phone call from Mother Earth; an obituary for
a wildfire; a burned mountain's conversation with a lone woman and an injured
bear. Every story captures how fire affects the human psyche and
life, and how destruction can lead to renewal.
