Through musicology, jigs and reels, poetry, photographs, and the ecology of fire, Porter invests biography with the power of reflective ingenuity, creating a portrait which expands beyond documentation into a private realm where truth meets metaphor.     Weaving through multiple genres and traditions, Approaching Fire fashions a textual documentary of rescue and insight, and a glowing contemplation of the ways in which loss can generate unbridled renewal.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 135 x 210 x 12\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Michelle Porter\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9781550818536\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 181\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48910392656025,"sku":"16RD-1-9781550818536","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/Approaching_Fire_Michelle_Porter.jpg?v=1787199454","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/approaching-fire","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
