High Fire Danger - Paperback

High Fire Danger bears witness to the struggle humanity is facing as we recalibrate the world as we have come to know it - in these unsettling times of wild weather events and a changing climate.

'Trenorden's voice is vitrified by the emergency, her steady gaze indispensable. Sparse and urgent, moving and attentive, these poems blaze with climate fury and tend the living shoots of survival. Essential reading for our times.' Jennifer Mills

This ecopoetry collection of poems is written in response to the Black Summer bushfires of 2019-2020. Vignettes, written from different perspectives, allow the reader to move beyond the news bites that confront us every day, to a more spacious consideration of our collective grief and the many ways our lives have been impacted by changing weather patterns.

Finding ways to grieve our losses is an important step toward making sense of the new world we find ourselves in and equipping ourselves to navigate unfamiliar terrain. Trenorden's hope, in sharing these poems, is to contribute to the important dialogue that allows for a process of collective grieving in turbulent times.
