Fire Series began as an experiment in working recursively through the specialized diction of fire investigators, using technical phrases such as “structured fire,” “foliage freeze,” and “fire interval” to generate poems.
Fire becomes metaphorically layered—as knowledge, as desire, as anger. The book entertains the many strands of this fiery lineage as it undertakes a poetic investigation into grief and sex, loneliness and restlessness within intimacy, and language’s ability to make, unmake, and remake things.
