Vibrantly playful and formally extraordinary, Albiston's exuberant long poem captures the voices of two very likeable dogs and their unlikely 'ownee', offering a gloriously oblique portrait of the canine adventures that map a household. Jack and Mollie's observant commentary of 'Her' give the book its emotional compass, while the syllabic structure and dynamic rhythms lend it muscle and pulse.
Jordie Albiston's dance with form is a sophisticated yet radical gambol... one senses her starting to take up her place in a future version of how we will come to recognise Australian Poetry.
