A sardonic conversational tone distinguishes much of the satirical bright verses at the heart of this volume. - Richard TippingSchadenfreude I'd seen before, such a memorable, powerful poem, and that last one, My Country, is a poem for our time. Too many good poems to compliment them individually. Such an uncompromising, elegand intelligence coupled with clarity and wit (two unfashionable virtues absent from most contemporary Australian poetry), I am as ever humbled and a little awed. Gary Shead's impulsive, whimsical, intuitive drawings are the perfect counterbalance. - Lauren Williams
