Inhaltsangabe
Der preisgekrönte Dichter Geoff Goodfellow ist zurück mit einer weiteren lebendigen, beeinflussenden und lakonisch dunklen Kollektion, die keine Schläge zieht, da sie das australische Leben meisterhaft aufzeichnet.
Gefiltert durch Geoffs einzigartig mächtige Perspektive, fangen diese Gedichte das Aufwachsen mit einem charismatischen, aber beschädigten Vater ein, die Folgen gebrochener Ehen – und die Elternschaft inmitten der Trümmer, das Arbeitsleben eines Dichters (einschließlich Streichrufe von berechtigten Schülern) und den Umgang mit Krebs – wieder.
Wie immer liefert Geoff eine Reihe von brillant eingefangenen Porträts des Arbeiterlebens, von den Straßenszenen des ehemals industriellen Port Adelaide und seinem Heimatvorort Semaphore mit seiner erhöhten Mischung aus Wohlstand und Armut bis hin zu seinen furchtlosen Bewohnungen von Teenagern, die von häuslicher Gewalt und Sucht heimisch betroffen sind.
Und als Leckerbissen gibt es "Don't Look So Glum", eine weibliche Version seines ikonischen männlichen Gedichts "Don't Call me Lad".
