Cariboo Ashes explores the tension between rugged geographies and the fragile landscapes within. Rooted in British Columbia yet resonating far beyond, these poems navigate wildfire country, environmental reckoning, fractured families, political fault lines, desire, and the enduring pull of memory. They invite readers into a landscape where every place carries history, every absence leaves an imprint, and every ember holds the possibility of renewal.

Moving between intimate lyricism and unflinching observation, Heather Haley examines belonging, resilience, and the stories we inherit and resist. Fearless, sensual, and deeply attentive to the music of language, Cariboo Ashes reveals how grace survives fire, estrangement, and the shifting ground beneath our feet.
