Synopsis "Oz is Burning"
Fire, fire burning bright, warm my toes, light my room. Burn my fingers or waft my prayer to heaven.Summer in the southern hemisphere is Fire time. Managed fire can be a blessing, clearing out choking undergrowth and removing pestilent rodents. Out of control fire is a different entity altogether. In the summer of 2019/2020 nearly the entire continent of Australia burned. Half a billion animals lost their lives. Hundreds of thousands of acres of habitat and agricultural land was scoured. Some of the fires were human caused. Others were the result of climate change-humanity's greedy exploitation of resources-and decades of drought.Even after the fires are out, the land still suffers.From Suzanne Newnham's strange look at how a person who hears fire perceives the conflagration, to Jack Dann's and Ann Poore's evocative poems to tales of wonder and outrage, and Sivlia Brown's and Narrelle M. Harris's poignant hopes for a better future, this anthology demonstrates the agony of a continent, but it also shows bits of dark humor and hope among the devastation.B-Cubed Press always donates a portion of each sale to charity.
