Description

this impressive debut has established Hera Lindsay Bird as a good girl………with many beneficial thoughts and feelings………

with themes as varied as snow and tears, the poems in this collection shine with the fantastic cream of who she is………juxtaposing many classical and modern breezes

Bird turns her prescient eye on love and loss, and what emerges is like a helicopter in fog………or a bejewelled Christmas sleigh, gliding triumphantly through the desert………

this is at once an intelligent and compelling fantasy of tenderness………

heartbreaking and charged with trees………without once sacrificing the forest………

Whether you are masturbating luxuriously in your parent’s sleepout………

………or pushing a pork roast home in a vintage pram………

this is the book for you………………………

heroically and compulsively stupid………………………………………

Reviews

Recently ran across a New Zealand poet, Hera Lindsay Bird, who does a version of what I used to do, but does it 100x better. —David Berman

Frank and outrageous … it has made me, like many others, more excited about poetry than I have been in a long time. —Guardian

Full of outrageous guilty pleasures. She writes with the cheek of Frank O Hara. —Telegraph

Funny, clever and deadpan and kept me hanging on every line….Her writing has a freshness and straightforwardness that strides confidently off the page. —Jon McGregor, Observer

The deadpan comic bravado of the New Zealand poet Hera Lindsay Bird looks literary decorum in the eye and dares it to blush. —Jeremy Noel-Tod, Sunday Times

A literary phenomenon … goofy, funny and tender, her energy and sensitivity will captivate. —Elle
