Descripción: Review"Carlson's prose is as luminous as her artwork... Enthralling and vibrant, Cold Canyon Fire Journals is an exceptional tribute to the strength, diversity, and beauty of the natural world, championing the importance of protecting our wild places." —Foreword Reviews, starred review"In these days of isolation and disconnection, Carlson shows us how to enrich our own landscapes, both inner and outer. What seems barren at first can reveal hidden treasures." —Marissa Moss, New York Journal of Books"The Cold Canyon Fire Journals is a celebration of a beauty that is larger than our comprehension. Our beloved world has burned and will burn again, Carlson tells us. But these pages offer a new way to relate to fire, kindling a respect for the natural world on its own terms. This is a book to cherish, to share, and to hold close when the skies once again darken with smoke." —KENDRA ATLEEWORK, author of Miracle Country, winner of the Sigurd F. Olsen Nature Writing Award"The Cold Canyon Fire Journals is a captivating and matchless invitation to see, through Carlson's incisive writing and charming artistry, a landscape recovering from fire. The relationship and lessons Carlson derives intertwine with her knowledge of global climate crisis and fire cycles—we are all better for being invited into this journey of recovery and reformation." — BERONDA L. MONTGOMERY, author of Lessons from Plants"That place can be a relationship is well understood; that fire is, less so. Robin Lee Carlson puts Cold Canyon, a place she knows intimately, together with fire, an oft-vexing visitor, and the result is a delightfully illustrated reimagining of the fire-catalyzed changes sweeping over us." — STEPHEN PYNE, author of The Pyrocene"As we follow Robin Carlson's adventures and exploration in a post-fire landscape, we are given the raw footage from her nature journals and the deeper insights they inspire. We see the landscape through her eyes, tuned with the curiosity and insight of a scientist and the aesthetics and delight of an artist. This book is an authentic love song to the wonder, resilience and beauty of nature and the power of observation and inquiry." — JOHN MUIR LAWS, author of The Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling"Robin Lee Carlson spent years field-sketching wildfire impacts, and in The Cold Canyon Fire Journals, she shows us that fire is not inherently bad but a process of change and renewal. Her detailed observations are important, and we can all learn from them as we seek to learn to live with fire in California." — LAURA CUNNINGHAM, author of A State of Change"In a time when those who love the living world must hold together joy and pain, beauty and loss, Robin Lee Carlson allows fire to become a teacher that opens both the physical landscape and her 'imaginative sympathy.' As a contemplation on ecological change, Cold Canyon reveals how a landscape forged in fire, over time and with loving attention, can deeply alter and revivify our perceptions." — GAVIN VAN HORN, author of The Way of Coyote and co-editor of Kinship"After a seemingly unending series of catastrophic fire seasons, Californians can't be blamed for being pessimistic about the future of their state and its globally treasured landscapes. In The Cold Canyon Fire Journals, Robin Carlson traces - in reverential prose and delightful illustration - the multiple rebirths of a cherished Coast Range watershed after the passage of wildfires in 2015 and 2020. Carlson invites the reader on her own journey of discovery and wonder, and finds 'beauty in things that seem broken.' For Californians the future brings both fear and hope. Carlson weaves both into her story of the big lessons a small place can teach us about where our world is going, and what we can do about it." — HUGH SAFFORD, Chief scientist, Vibrant Planet; Research ecologist, UC Davis; US Forest Service, retiredBraiding together illustration, observation, and reportage, arti
