{"product_id":"the-strict-economy-of-fire-9780807129944","title":"The Strict Economy of Fire","description":"On a pilgrimage to the Kingdom of Nepal, a group of American women trek into the Himalayas, beginning and ending in Kathmandu. They ascend, turn back just short of reaching their destination because of impassable snow, and descend. \"Say what you see,\" smoke rising on a distant mountain seems to command, and Ava Leavell Haymon responds with language that strives to reconcile the extremes of this exotic place-- danger and awesome beauty, community and abandonment, death and life, flame's heat and altitude's cold, an alien landscape and the poet's own deep memories. Fires--of cooking, festivals, cremation, deforestation, and starvation--rage through the poems; like the name of the Hindu goddess Kali, fire is \"destruction and creation \/ in one word.\" An exacting yet exhilarating poetry collection, \u003ci\u003eThe Strict Economy of Fire \u003c\/i\u003easks what we can know and what we can never know \"on this far side of the earth.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ava Leavell Haymon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.50w x 0.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807129944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAva Leavell Haymon lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and teaches poetry writing there and at a summer retreat center in the mountains of New Mexico.
