Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. * Winner of the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 2021: Prize for Poetry*The highly anticipated follow up to the award-winning collection The Special, this electric new body of work by poet David Stavanger is a mix tape of free verse, lyric poetry, found text and flash fiction documenting lived mental health experience.Utilising his renowned observational humour and playing with the absurdist nature of institutional language, Stavanger interrogates the unreliable narration of diagnosis: in private, in public and in surrealist spaces where it becomes increasingly unclear who is under the microscope. In short character studies, informal experiments and longer sequenced poems this collection unpacks toxic masculinity and fatherhood, online and domestic tensions, the truth of confessional poetry, myths of 'madness' inherited by blood, and the canine as both avatar and familiar of the black dog.This is a poetic memoir for those who don't believe the hype. * Shortlisted for the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 2021* Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Entering the liminal space of shared custody and societal tropes of the 'broken family', with a blend of poetry, with other forms. This new volume unravels the day-to-day reality of co-parenting, exploring the ways we stay afloat.Exploring the liminal space of shared custody and societal tropes of the 'broken family', this collection is the follow-up to Stavanger's award-winning Case Notes. A blend of poetry, found text, short-form prose, reportage, and longer poetic non-fiction, this work unravels the day-to-day reality of co-parenting amid growing environmental and class concerns, and the ways we stay afloat.'David Stavanger writes poems of excruciating beauty, associative insight and acute humanity like no-one else I know. From the complexities of shared parenting to the housing crisis, from the corporatisation of everyday life to the alienations of the medical system, The Drop Off lands in the reader's body with devastating and revelatory effect.' -Andy Jackson'The Drop Off raises crucial questions about how and why we are blindly complicit in diminishing our lives in ways that threaten to undermine our capacity to value the very qualities that characterise us as human. Amid the heartbreak and melancholy, the unsettled and unsettling, there is much humour, too. These poems are extraordinary animals. Stavanger has an astute and unflinching eye - and a talent for matter-of-factly corralling mundane everyday details to absurd effect.' -Grace Yee Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
