1 Out of the Darkness : Poetry, Memorial and the Black Saturday Bushfires Lisa Jacobson , 2016 single work criticism
— Appears in: Axon : Creative Explorations , September no. C1 2016; 'This paper looks at poetry as a response to the bushfires that devastated Victoria on February 7, 2009 and its capacity to ‘hold’ what cannot be said, and yet must be said, when no other language will do. In the disaster there is trauma and transformation. Yeats says it best: that out of the darkness a ‘terrible beauty’ is born (‘Easter, 1916’). (Publication abstract)
