Quiet Fire Press publishes one body of work in four movements. Each book stands entirely on its own; read together, they approach the same questions through different doors.
The Ecology of Awareness A memoir in stories — four decades of field ecology and fifty years of contemplative practice, drawn into a single inquiry into attention.
The Tree and the Crown A novel that listens to the forest: its deep time, its patient lineage, the slow intelligence of rooted things.
The Shepherd and the Sea A novel of the sea and its weathers — a boy, the living water, and what the wind carries between them.
Od and Ēvelyn A story for children and the adults reading over their shoulders: a four-and-a-half-year-old, a grass snake named Od, and a single turning year in a garden.
