Études for the Image, or The Cinder Path blends memoir and poetics, criticism, and radiant prose. Following the death of his sister, whose life involved complex care, Zach Savich explores how images and phrases can echo through us. This book-length essay is at once a swift, expansive treatise on poetic vision and a consideration of life's ordinary disappointments. It tends to the heat that lives in the cinders and follows the paths they reveal.
