Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
Ideal for readers who appreciate contemporary poetry with wit and sharp cultural insights, especially those interested in Australian life and language play.
"We have entered the territory of concrete poetry here, where the extreme formality of the book's layout begins to shape content. The expressionistic and often elevated lyricism of Quads is held in a fine balance by the book's formal restraint, and Oulipo meets concrete poetry in the service of conceptual play..."

Description
A lickety-split trip through Australian life with slippery language, puns, sleight of lip, and playful, sharp-eyed observation. From the sudden sharks waiting under the water in Sydney Harbour to rainbow lorikeets, and too too sleekly cheeky bower birds conducting affairs in the back yard, to how the boomers will misbehave in the nursing homes of the future, the language pops from the page. The poems look sharp, and sing.
