Divine Comedy

Set against the backdrop of Western Australia's wheat-belt, this epic three-part work intertwines poetry with themes of nature and environmentalism. Through Purgatorio: Up Close, Paradiso: Rupture, and Inferno: Leisure Centre, John Kinsella draws inspiration from Dante's Divine Comedy, creating a vivid tapestry that blends reality and imagination. The poems explore the beauty of the natural world while confronting the challenges posed by environmental degradation and human apathy, making a powerful statement about our relationship with the environment.
