Susan's Cow Blog

I set up this blog in July 2009 to keep me company in India while I was on a Literature Residency. On the track of cows in history, literature, art and archaeology - and of course those soft-eyed ones on all the roads and byways. That time is over now, but I am going to continue the blog page and it will change, so watch out for new things. All blogs © Susan Hawthorne. Please ask if you wish to quote from the site. It's great to get comments and to know who's been so please write to me.

More on cyclones

Litoria infrafrenata, the green tree frog you can hear on the recording.

Ex-tropical cyclone Paul is currently working its way out and bringing bucketing rain to Far North Queensland following on the heels of Cyclone Ului. Tonight the roar of rain was mixed with the screams of green tree frogs. I couldn't tell if they were screams of delight or of terror!

To listen to the sound of green tree frogs and cyclones, as well as poems about Category 5 Cyclone Larry (20 March 2006) you can listen to the podcast of Poetica based on my collection, Earth's Breath (2009).
