In her poem 'I'm Angry with God Again', Belinda Broughton speaks a truth that can't be denied: Having subdued the earth, / we're living in our own shit, / we're cooking ourselves under heaven. This is an example of the clear and unsentimental eye (and voice) that Broughton brings to bear on a global crisis that needs our attention and action, now. Her poems, showing us the wonder of the world - from the towering magnificence of trees to blue wrens singing their 'hopeful songs' - are prescient reminders of all we stand to lose if we, as human beings, continue to see ourselves as the centre of the universe. - Louise Nicholas
