Recent decades have seen ceaseless catastrophes created by governments’ failure to engage with the environmental-political reality of climate change.

In her third poetry collection, journalist and film critic Roberta Lowing, author of the Asher Award-winning Iraq war sequence Ruin, and the Prime Minister’s Award and Commonwealth Book Prize-nominated Notorious, responds to the domino effect of human-made environmental damage.

This Attic of Fire is a political work that strives to demonstrate how relevant - and revelatory - poetry can be to a modern society.

This is poetry as an act of protest and a place of sanctuary.
