At once erudite and bitingly topical, Carey has a keen eye for the humorous detail and the deeper resonances of global stupidity. Carey shows himself adept at both the brief political quip like the Tony Abbot-inspired “Captain’s Pick Haiku” or the longer reflective analysis of presidential egomania in “Another Day at the Office”. I can think of very few poets with such a capacity for sustained humour and inventiveness. Underlying Carey’s poems is a clear-sighted voice that registers the follies, pretensions and violence of humanity.’ – Peter Boyle\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ginninderra Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131333886192,"sku":"9781760414849","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781760414849_p0.jpg?v=1763706155","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781760414849","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
