This collection of poems delivers astute social commentary on contemporary Australian life that’s compelling, insightful and funny all at the same time. Mitchell moves from the poetry of the self, family, and the everyday, to connect with the wider world in poems that are at times achingly tender, and at times scathingly wry. The language is simple and concise, yet there is great depth and substance of themes. This is the most accessible collection of poetry to be published in Australia in many years.
