Devil In The Wind: voices from the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires by Frank Prem
5.0
I discovered my love of poetry as a teenager and this love continues to this day.
Devil in The Wind is very different from any poetry book that I have ever read before. I’ve never encountered stream of consciousness poems before, or poetry that chronicles such a devastating experience in such a thoughtful, honest, human and visual way.
Poetry delivers raw emotions in a way that prose sometimes struggles to do.
My favourite poems are:
Evidence to the Commission of Enquiry
Like A Duck on The Lake
Portraits in Green And Gold
The look of salvation
First bus to Marysville
The strength of a Trukie
Ever again

Thank you to the author for a copy – this in no way affects my review.
My recommendation: 5 stars. Definitely read this, it is a fantastic collection.
