From the Ashes
The 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season has seen unprecedented destruction - to homes, lives, and the eucalypt forests and bushlands that are inseparable from our identity as Australians. Most heartrending has been the destruction wrought on our wildlife, the habitats which sustain and shelter them, reduced to ashen deserts.
In response, the Australian poetry community has risen and given voice to the anguish, the struggle, and the challenge of this catastrophe. Poets from across the country, and indeed, from around the world, some renowned, some known only in their own backyards, or local libraries, have risen up with a shared voice; from the ashes, they say, we rise.
All proceeds from this book will be donated to wildlife rescue and bushfire relief charities.
