Philip Connors's first book, Fire Season, changed my life and the way I thought a book could work.I'm still reeling. I need to find time to reread it someday. His second, All the Wrong Places, worked on me differently but still impressed. Along the way I got to meet the author and consider him a friend, although not one I've kept in touch with closely in the last few years.

Produced by the award-winning independent publisher Cinco Punto Press, Philip Connors’ A Song for the River is a much-needed balm in our current age of fever-pitched distraction and tumult. It is an urging toward silence, stillness, and reflection It is a song in the name of looking closer, looking harder. From one of the last working fire lookouts comes this sequel to the award-winning Fire Season―a story of calamity and resilience in the world’s first wilderness. A dozen years into his dream job keeping watch over the Gila National Forest of New Mexico, Philip Connors bore witness to the blaze he had always feared: a megafire that forced him off his mountain by helicopter and forever. Philip Connors is the best sort of writer, one alert to the mysteries and attuned to absurdity. His concerns are elemental: fire, water, earth, and air. Add to that loss. Add to that love. And A Song for the River becomes a potent, moving tribute to wilderness, solitude, and some extraordinary people gone too soon.
