Synopsis
Le poète primé Geoff Goodfellow est de retour avec une autre collection vive, affectueuse et laconiquement sombre qui ne tire aucun coup de poing car elle chronique magistralement la vie australienne.
Filtrés à travers la perspective puissante unique de Geoff, ces poèmes capturent grandir avec un père charismatique mais endommagé, les conséquences des mariages brisés - et la parentalité au milieu des décombres, la vie professionnelle d'un poète (y compris les appels de farces des étudiants autorisés) et la gestion du cancer - encore.
Comme toujours, Geoff offre une série de portraits brillamment capturés de la vie ouvrière, des scènes de rue de l'ancien port industriel Adélaïde et de sa banlieue natale de Semaphore, avec son mélange accru de richesse et de pauvreté, à ses habitations intrépides d'adolescents assaillis par la vie domestique qui caractérisent la violence domestique et la dépendance.
Et comme friandise, il y a « Don't Look So Glum », une version féminine de son poème masculin emblématique « Don't Call me Lad ».
