\n<p>In <em>Approaching Fire<\/em>, Michelle Porter embarks on a quest to find her great-grandfather, the M\u00e9tis fiddler and performer L\u00e9on Robert Goulet. 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. <br>
