Earth’s Breath

In a time of rapid climate change, Susan Hawthorne explores the devastating impact of cyclones on people, species and environments. These emotionally charged poems travel from trampled forests and torn rooftops to the inner heartache and emotional distress felt among disaster survivors. Radiating out from her local community, this poetic and psychological journey through trauma explores the deep connection between human beings and their environment by tracking cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes through history and myth.
