The link below provides an interesting Journal article published by the University of Wollongong – Australia; Literary Studies 28.4 (2013), and written by Michael R Jacklin.

The journal regards Poetry as a means of mourning and loss following national disasters, and includes a few beautiful examples. The journal also makes reference and cites one of my own published works, my 2005 publication of ‘Paint the Sky with Stars’.

This Journal has been archived with the University Repositary (Research online / Open Access)
