Readings from Continent Aflame: Kate Judith reads 'Errinundra Shimmer'

Kate Judith was part of the protest movement to protect the forests of South East NSW. Following that she lived on the edge of the forests of far East Gippsland. Now she is an Environmental Humanities scholar, currently writing with mangroves to consider what it is to be between.

Errinundra Shimmer reflects on and joyfully depicts the intense aliveness of ecologies such as those of the moist southern forests of Eastern Australia. The 2019-20 bushfires, extinguishing as they did this intense ‘shimmer’ of the forests, brought about a loss that presents the author with deep questions as to how to honour and make good that loss in the future.
