These deceptively simple, conversational poems tell stories and capture details of daily existence but then take odd and surprising turns. Language slips and miscommunications lead to suddenly unnerving perceptions for a moving and provocative experience. This is a poised and confident book of poetry that offers a quirky take on everyday life.
Louise Wallace grew up in Gisborne and now lives in Wellington. She completed an MA in Creative Writing at the International Institute of modern Letters in 2008, and won the Biggs Prize for Poetry. Her poems have been published in journals including Sport, Turbine and Snorkel.
