“This powerful collection leads readers through the harrowing reality of losing everything to bushfire.  Broughton experienced the unimaginable.  In one terrifying day, she and her husband lost everything: the home where they’d raised a family, all her memorabilia, her journals, all their artwork.  And the landscape she’d loved and tended for over forty years was burned beyond recognition.
Using a lyrical mix of free verse, Japanese form and prose poetry, this important collection explores loss and renewal on physical, spiritual and ecological levels.”
