Gig Ryan is one of Australia's leading poets. Her edgy, excoriating poetry takes the pulse of urban Australia, but her territory is as much the human rat-race and the hell of contemporary life as the particular lives she seizes upon with icy, ironic precision. This is her first book of poetry to be published in the UK.
