Overview
Braiding together illustration, observation, and reportage, artist and naturalist Robin Lee Carlson offers a watershed work that will forever change how we live with wildfire in the West.
When the nature reserve at Cold Canyon went up in flamesāa casualty of Californiaās raging fire seasonsāRobin Lee Carlson embarked on a five-year journey to learn the legacy of the burn. Spurred by scientific curiosity, Carlsonās deep digs into the natural history of this fire-swept ecosystem unearth mind-bending revelations about natureās wild wisdom. Her transformative story of fire as a force for renewal underscores what scientists are urgently working to understand: that in Californiaās wildfire ecologies, fire functions as an elemental power that does not destroy the diverse habitats of California, but regenerates them. Richly illustrated in pen, ink, and watercolor, this snapshot of Cold Canyonās wildlife emerging from the ashes introduces the reader to the wonder of ecological kinship and its cycles in our wild lands. Carlsonās artistic and scientific journey ultimately leads her (and us) to a new understanding of how we must live in relationship to fire and to the land. With fire suppression and climate change undermining the essential regenerative work of fire in our ecosystem, Carlsonās story is an urgent oneāone that shows us how cultivating intimacy with our natural world teaches us what we need to do to sustain it.
