Description
Frankie McMillan is one of the leading writers of the short-short form in Aotearoa New Zealand, and Eddie Sparkle's Bridal Taxi, her seventh book, sees her at her best.
The prose poems and small stories here demonstrate exceptional range, examining the tiniest psychodramas but also meditating on drownings, shootings, infidelities, and nuclear warfare.
McMillan finds the unusual in the everyday, and she is equally at home with lovers embracing in the fields and with reclusive aunts fading away in poky old houses.
This is writing that reveals humans working out how to be their ridiculous and beautiful little selves. This is writing that feels like thinking.
