Cyclonic storms inform the still eye of Earths Breath. Its an eye
that radiates out from the personal to the communal, tracking its
subject matter through the lenses of history and myth. Susan
Hawthorne's poetry shifts with seismic intensity, from tranquillity
to roar, bureaucratic inertia to survival, and the slow recovery
from destruction to regeneration. In 2006, the poet, her partner
and their dog sat through the extreme winds of Cyclone Larry, a
Category-5 cyclone that hit the coast of Far North Queensland,
Australia. Located at the southern edge of the cyclone -- the
eyewall -- with winds at their most ferocious, these poems explore
the period before the cyclone, the event itself and the aftermath.
In "Earth's Breath", Hawthorne evokes the terror and devastation of
the cyclonic event and the emotional impact upon those caught in
its path. Drawing from Indian, Greek and Biblical mythology as well
as Indigenous understanding, these poems range from descriptive to
reflective, mythic to emotional, and aim to raise questions of the
reader.
