"It's hard to know where to stop once you've started / keeping things alive," McKinney writes in this wise and exacting collection of poems that resemble individual trees in memory's own old-growth forest. 'Fireproofing the Woods' chronicles a lifetime spent in the company of and in communion with nature. This lends it a patient, generative energy that mimics the reach of redwoods. Enter its canopy and find in its language refuge." --Dorianne Laux, author of The Book of Men
