The urgent and beautiful poems of his new book, \u003cem\u003eCold Fire\u003c\/em\u003e, have settings in Australia, India, Greece, Turkey and the American West. A title sequence takes up the Aboriginal practice of cool burning for fire mitigation, and moves to the Ring of Fire, the volcanoes of Mason's childhood home in the Pacific Northwest--fires of creation and destruction. Here the dream life of art is pitched against human conflict. Here we have poems of family life, aging, and a deep conversation with history and myth. This is a book of light, love, and powerful remembrance from the edge of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Hen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636284569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112","brand":"David Mason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52284327526581,"sku":"9781636284569","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ff04b6a9-2526-4929-bc9c-df54b920f5d0.jpg?v=1771990670","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cold-fire-poems-9781636284569","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
