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.
