The Fire Cycle: A Book of Rituals

by Clay Steakley

These poems anchor The Fire Cycle — a multidisciplinary project of poetry, music, film, visual art, dance, and live performance. Taken together, the poems, music, and other work focus on a return to nature and the elemental, a reconnection to ritual and community, and a gentle acceptance of impermanence.
