Finalist: Judith Wright Calanthe Award, Queensland Literary Awards

Something is terribly wrong. The news lurches between horror show and parody. Aeroplanes disappear from radar screens. The Holocene obliterates itself.

Charles Manson. MH-370. Peaches Geldof. Frank O'Hara. Men at Work. St. Augustine. Phillip Hughes. Greta Gerwig. Graham Richardson in dick togs. This is furious poetry for a warming planet.

Hot Take confronts opinion culture in the attention economy, love in the age of Tinder, politics in the age of Brexit and Trump. It will stay with you long after the think pieces are forgotten.

Ferney proves himself to be the rightful heir to the great John Forbes … This is an exhilarating, frequently hilarious, language-driven poetry that shows us precisely where we’re at.
