''Raining Embers"

Last year we were not far from the Black Saturday bushfire- a change of wind direction took the fire away from us- a terrible day.  But out of this tragedy a group of dedicated people recorded the stories of the bushfire victims in Bendigo.

Coincidentally my publisher told me that I needed a poem about the bushfire to add to my forthcoming poetry collection.  And I shared the result with John Holton the editor of 'Raining Embers.'   That's how part of my poem became the back blurb of the book.

It was a moving launch event last Friday night and I felt so proud when John concluded his launch speech by reading out my poem.
