A unique perspective on wildfire

Red Eyes and Tired Lungs – An Anthology of Wildfire edited by Asha Jade Goodwin is now available for pre-order as an ebook at https://books2read.com/u/bM2dQB

The title of this anthology comes from the editor’s experience during British Columbia’s most destructive wildfire season in the province’s recorded history. Over 2.84 million hectares of forest and land burned, more than double the area during any previous year on record.
Tens of thousands of people were forced to evacuate. Hundreds of homes and structures were lost or damaged. Smoke from the 2,245 wildfires contributed to Red Eyes and Tired Lungs for hundreds of thousands of British Columbians.

According to anthologist and editor, Asha Jade Goodwin, “The greatest challenge to creating this anthology was making sure we tackled the theme from as many angles as possible. Wildfire is dynamic, both a destructive force as well as part of the cycle of renewal.”

The works of the 38 authors and poets, including two poems of my own, showcased in this anthology have achieved this presenting a literary accomplishment that runs the gamut of emotions from beautiful to devastating, inspiring to terrifying while at the same time being entertaining reading
