In this audacious pamphlet, Janine Bradbury casts her piercing gaze towards questions of form and feeling. Moments of transition – adolescence, motherhood, loss – become intertwined with contemporary culture and the complexities of heritage. Professional wrestling, pop lyrics, fast food, and family ties become talismanic. Stylistically vibrant, playfully ambivalent, these are poems that both recognise and resist the trappings of sentimentality.

“Janine Bradbury’s debut is a masterful ride…a delightful journey that bends time and space, elevating the seemingly mundane into the extraordinary.”
