Drink Driving: A Collection of Edible Poems

Alone, behind the wheel, eager to drink. I travelled around Australia in a van writing poetry as I went. The vast, unrelenting landscape unveiled tough truths, yet emanated an aura of magic that helped map my way through extensive emptiness. People were candid and kind, always eager to share their stories with this smiling, mullet-wielding stranger. The stories, that stitch the fabric of this land, are far from unsullied, they are blood-red like the earth, torn from scarred skin and spoken in trembling tongues. But at their core is a uniquely Australian beauty, of which I try to express.

Some of the poems include:

Sex With Strangers
Near Death
Cat Drugs
Cannabis
KALGOORLIE
Giddy With Relief After a Long Work Week
Helplessness
it's Dark Already and I'm Out Here Again
a Poet's Paradise
You Kill it, You Eat it
The Gang
a Gun in a Gun Fight
Secrets

and so many more!
