Cold Fire by Verónica Zondek

$16.00
The English-language debut of Verónica Zondek, COLD FIRE is a book-length meditation on the wind in which—according to Eliot Weinberger—the renowned Chilean poet “demonstrates that to think about the wind is to think about everything.” COLD FIRE is a timeless chronicle of the human facing the dread and magic of its own materiality. This book-length poem, written in a voice as piercing and tentative as the elements themselves and translated into English by Katherine Silver, is an intimate and irreducible exploration of our vulnerability, solitude, plunder, and death, and posits the wind, with its omnipresent voice and its versatile metaphoric essence, as the fundamental source of energy, renovation, and destruction.
