Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From award-winning and highly acclaimed author and poet Maria Takolander comes her most impressive and personal poetry collection yet.Trigger Warning is not for the fainthearted, but neither are the elemental realities of domestic violence and environmental catastrophe that these astonishing poems address. Comprised of three sections, the first summons a difficult personal history by conversing with poets - from Sylvia Plath to Anne Carson - whose dramatised confessions trigger Takolander's own. The second part remains focused on the domestic, while redeeming that scene of trauma through a reinventing wit. The final section of this extraordinary book turns its attention outside, playing with poetry itself in order to confront the Anthropocene and the final frontier of death. This is poetry that balances ruthlessness and lyrical beauty; poetry alive to its time and audience; poetry not to be missed.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A captivating dystopian masterpiece. For fans of Charlotte Wood and Cormac McCarthy.It is the future, and the earth has seemingly refused to cooperate with humanity, producing only thorn-bearing plants and caustic fogs in abundance. Life is hard for those who still inhabit urban communities. For those who have chosen to live 'off-grid' it is subsistence at best, but at least there is some kind of independence.A woman and her son live alone, surviving as scavengers. Even so, the boy must attend military school like all the other boys. In time he will be shipped off with the rest of them to a distant planet-the Promised Land-to fight the colonising war that is touted as humanity's only hope.By chance, the woman meets a young man who has avoided this fate, despite his lack of physical impairment. It appears that he comes from a place of sanctuary. Can he lead her back there-and help her to save her son?In taut, evocative prose, Maria Takolander has conjured an eerie and compelling story of desolation and hope that resonates in the imagination.'This novel is compelling and chilling. eerily thrilling' Age / Sydney Morning Herald'A tense, engrossing and deeply uncomfortable novel that speaks in urgent tones to our complacent moment.'
