Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Gig Ryan's edgy, excoriating poetry takes the pulse of urban Australia, but her territory is as much the human rat-race and the hell of contemporary life as the particular lives she seizes upon with icy, ironic precision. Her range of reference brings together heroes, heroines and put-upon mortals of both ancient and modern times: slaves and moneygrabbers, pretenders and worshippers of ephemera and effluvia, for whom 'I continue my existence as a negative role-model / bathing in the blood of others / sitting in a cone of noise.'

It has been unavailable for some time although parts have reappeared in her New and Selected Poems (Bloodaxe, and Sydney's Giramondo). As Martin Johnston said in a blurb for the first edition: "it marks. something new in Australian poetry: a deeply coherent 'discontinuous narrative' in verse of hallucinatory vividness and continual wry wit, lacerating without self-pity, demanding without pretentiousness or condescension. No one will find it comfortable reading. Ryan's craftsmanship is impeccable, her vision bullshit-proof." "Gig Ryan. develops and extends the strengths of her first collection The Division of Anger. Like that book, Manners of an Astronaut is full of verbal energy. She doesn't give up the concerns her first book was a direct combative response to.
