Synopsis
Following the success of his novel Another, Joel Deanes first collection of poems is a travelogue following him around the world, from Australia to the Americas to the Himalayas, and into the great interior of human frailty. Deane combines his storytelling skills with a natural instinct for the rhythms, rhymes and finely tuned lines of poetry. His work owes a lot to the tradition of the Beats and spoken word generally. The poetry is natural, fluid and accessible but there is emotional complexity, and a beating heart. The poems speak directly to the restless human spirit and hunger for experience. It made me long to grab a backpack and hit the road. from the IP Picks 2005 Judges Report
