'Up-to-the-minute reportage on our fraught zeitgeist, conveyed with vitality and satirical humour.' - Hugh MajorRanging from an individual’s birth to the death of the planet, this urgent collection reflects back to us the perilous state of our world. Written by a fed up boomer determined to call out our collective stupidity, Out of the way world is simultaneously justifiably cynical, cavalierly mocking and bitingly realistic.Picture humanity crammed into a gigantic kick-ass double cab ute burning through fossil fuel like there’s no tomorrowour symbol of what’s important- crucifix tractor Buddha furry kiwibullet dollar sign fluffy red dice -bouncing under the rear-view mirroras we drive like crazyveering right then left indifferent to the roadkill ...'Hauntingly on the nose. I love this collection. I think everyone should read it right now! Many lines bear rereading and copying for future quotation. I stopped making my list before the end and just enjoyed. It is wonderful!' - Judith Hoch'New Zealand literature has no one quite like Keith Hill. Always surprising, a genuine original.' - Roger Horrocks

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
