The Burn is a collection of poems and poetic prose about wildness, water, identity, fatherhood, loss, and what it means to be fully alive.

Moving between the rivers and forests of Minnesota and Aotearoa, Benny Sip explores our relationship with the natural world—and what we might rediscover by returning to it.

Funny, irreverent, reflective, and deeply personal, The Burn is a love letter to wild things and a reminder that sometimes, the forest must burn before anything new can grow.
