A wickedly entertaining collection of poems from one of the most distinctive new voices in New Zealand writing, this book offers a wide-ranging variety of poetry. The selection includes everything from autobiographical lyrics like "The Adulterer Becomes a Roadie for the Clash and Thinks About Sleeping with Their Girlfriends" and the long poem "Ophelia," about the tender love between an adolescent boy and an orangutan, to the reconstructed writings of Nelson legend Fidel Serif.
