​FROM THE FIRE

Ojai Reflects on the Thomas Fire
















"From the Fire is a beautiful compilation of stories from neighbors, friends and people I have not met yet and their journey through the Thomas Fire. Upon reading it I found it incredibly healing and touching. It’s an honor to own such a special piece of history and I am so thankful to the authors for creating this beautiful work of art." ~Holly Thomsen Barnett
​From The Fire is a book about hope and connection and the coming together of the Ojai community as well as a book about the devastation and trauma of the Thomas Fire.  This book is a collection of writings - poems, prose, reflections - and photographs (some of original artwork) that document the fire experience from the flames to the ash to the regrowth that is happening now - on the land as well as within the community.  

We are honored to be the stewards of all the submissions that came to us ​and all those that will be included in this beautiful anthology.  Elizabeth Rose and Deva Temple
