“Top 25 Best L.A.-Centric Books of 2025!” —L.A. Taco
“The poems in this volume reach deep into this horrendous experience and at the same time help us rediscover our common humanity.” —John Bellamy Foster, author, The Dialectics of Ecology
Poets and writers explore the devastation of the cataclysmic 2025 fires in Los Angeles, California, penetrating the unfathomable despair of losing everything, exposing the struggle with the ensuing grief, and, through it all, summoning the courage to rise again.
Fueled by dry conditions and relentless Santa Ana winds rushing over the landscape with speeds upwards of 100 miles per hour, everything bending to the will of the wind, the spark of Los Angeles’s January 2025 fires exploded into an unprecedented gut wrenching apocalypse.
In this superbly curated collection, edited by award-winning L.A. poets S.A. Griffin and Richard Modiano, contemporary poets and writers from L.A. and beyond explore the intense horror of devastating loss, the helplessness of watching from across the country, the grief in the aftermath, and the resolve to rise again together from the ashes.
