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","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45143457988631,"sku":"9781636284583","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/81Vx2nAtwgL._SL1500.jpg?v=1778970444","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/mason-david-cold-firehb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
