Thrilled to have an essay listed as notable in Best American Essays 2022! This is the fourth notable essay from my @splitlippress collection Halfway From Home. Many thanks to @NERweb @textplusimage @lesannsai and the rest of the team for first publishing this essay!

You've read my poetry, here's my prose--part of a project that connects noted poets with social or political topics. I got Fire. Spring of this year. Then, north of us, millions of acreage went up in flame. This is about poetry, literature and...fire. And smoke.
Our #PoetsontheBeat series returns this week with this reflection by @LummisofLA on the way climate change, and its resulting calamities, have influenced poetry and given new context to heat and distant fires.

From Suzanne Lummis' new essay. "'Civilizational collapse,' a phrase I recently heard for the first time, is not a mood. Unlike, say, fire season, it would not make a good name for a perfume." @LummisofLA capitalandmain.com/is-climat…

"Maybe there is another possibility being gestured at from the gathering of archival fragments that does not seek to refashion those fragments into something whole."
