I know the flames contained in these pages, can smell their approach, and Holly Wren Spaulding, with her heart always outside her chest, is the herald of a scorching I can be grateful for.” — Chris La Tray, author of One Sentence Journal and a forthcoming memoir from Milkweed Editions, Becoming Little Shell. The open spaces in Fire can be read as white heat; the stretching hours and years in which certain events, whether real or imagined, lived in the imagination, and vibrated beyond. These fragments are husks of places and people in a burning landscape. The elements. Bodies resonating according to unseen frequencies. Attempts to say what it was like. The residue of what was felt.

A celebration of the elements, this collection is both the storm and the shelter. In her introduction, editor Anne-Marie Oomen recalls the "ritual dousing" of her storytelling group's bonfire: "wind, earth, fire, water-all of it simultaneous in that one gesture. . . . In that moment we are bound together with these elements and with this place, the circle around the fire on the shores of a Great Lake closes, complete." Holly’s essay, “The Language of Trees” was included in this collection of creative nonfiction published by Wayne State University Press, 2019. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1604073520246-AW78X6286NM8GEJORSIE/the%2Bgrass%2Bimpossibly.jpg Books - The Grass Impossibly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1604073412186-LG35KLS5IHDIA39ET72A/pilgrim.jpg Books - Pilgrim https://www.hollywrenspaulding.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-08-31 https://www.hollywrenspaulding.com/projects daily 0.75 2021-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605713687460-I3EIALWIKWXNWFL82W24/HollyAndKaren-2795.jpg Projects Holly and Karen, work in progress, 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1579364814650-41J7CE9PD0ZUYCUIEM15/eyes+closed+beginning.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605708806714-U1TKLC3FL2EQID5KI9X1/Prima+Materia+smiling+and+hands+held.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1579364816023-5KB7A11I7UCGU4ZBTBTZ/Holding+grasses.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605709167633-CZGLHZF61SQUJ9DH2B87/Prima%2BMateria%2Bsmelling%2Bthe%2Bgrass.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605708971449-ICJ4RTMQOHG7TTK11C3S/Prima+Materia+karen+carrying+water.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1579364848515-9TRE231SCKJAUQTRKHLZ/the+mountain+of+material.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605709022641-X7AVUD4IL8V6X2UM7Y8X/Prima+Material+folding+laundry.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605709579743-S688J75MT00ZWKGXNM87/Prima+Materia+setting+with+stones.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1579364820691-5VQ7CW3PTDGIFFUAXNH7/Holly+with+folded+pile.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605709330506-UWJMTLUWSUM4VYSIDI6O/Prima%2BMateria%2BHolly%2Bthreading.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605709212617-PX3REMQF6XS8795DJKLE/Prima+Materia+Drawing+with+grass.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605709258189-5EF7NWGRKNQ1MO1GDK22/Prima+Materia+Wall+drawing+grass+on+canvas.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605709383342-79WV2F4LOYAOH6V7OKCK/Prima+Materia--wall+drawing+close+up+Holly.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605709450855-V5ARPB6SNNKPGXK78LLJ/Prima+materia+wood+arrangement.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605708618265-2CI31O8POA2MXHJ3HOI3/Prima+Materia+large+folded+canvas.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605708693174-CAYML3TTS6SH32RKJ86X/Prima+materia+kneeling+and+folding.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1579364816190-YAPYQQFJ3WOPLMZG8CIQ/folding+it+up.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1579364847961-R3D8LH8PHBM4XPL6AFZ2/sculpting+ice.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1579364847893-J5I6R739PKQA4MT3R56D/the+end.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1579364812647-D4IG31FLPYO0PJEUBC6K/Holly+water+dripping.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605709080965-7YL6ULLMNB8R4VV5MWX3/Prima+Materia+Karen+dripping+and+dipping.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1579364813980-RGIF7V32VAN89AS30YQH/HOlly+with+water+dripping.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1579364847594-4IB5HZOC67OS4LU8MY8Y/ice+melting+breath.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e231cd602411b772ebff2d4/1605709527558-1J5CO0GB384ASZRE8QB5/Prima+Materia+Gallery+entrance.jpg Projects
