What other book offers fire, snow and apes, seedy moths and hens with a penchant for Mozart; bees and babes and babies (occasionally edible), steroids, speed and lycra, ESL and the CIA and a lone black-clad figure called Chainsaw? There’s home economics, microeconomics and astrophysics, the most affirming haiku ever written and an idea for our national flag that will make even photocopying a patriotic activity.

98 South Australian poems that scream or whinge or exalt or whisper: YOU ARE HERE.
