love is not to tiptoe around the crust of your soul, rather it is to descend into the fire of your molten core without a harness, asbestos suit, or dry ice; it is to suffer third-degree burns; it is to gasp for breath; it is to watch canaries die. Political, profound, profane. These poems of defiant disobedience crash through the barriers erected to keep us contained. Writing with humour and tenderness, Ali Whitelock takes us through the parched landscape of life, death, love, fear, regret and the unbearable sadness of losing a dog. And particularly topical in the aftermath of the destructive Australia-wide fires, the powerful 'this is coal don't be afraid' is a found poem made up of statements by Prime Minister Scott Morrison, the Rural Fire Service, as well as relevant tweets and quotes, collated to create an extraordinary piece to make us shiver
