May Carroll's many fans have waited a long time for this collection. It not only contains the text of many of her most popular performance pieces, but much new work as well. First coming to prominence in the late 1980s as a member of the Hobart-based group, Three Well-dressed Poets and Two Serious Musicians, May has established a huge reputation as a solo performance poet, enlivening with her unusual mix of wit, sardony and zaniness everything from orthodontists' dinners to suburban busses.

"These poems chuck you a life-buoy then yank it out of your reach...Never mind the pompous house of poesie here come the termites...Some of the poems are shocking. None of them are sensationalist, except in the best sense. An honest soul appears in the biggest pack of bullshit artists I've ever seen: poets."

- Eric Beach, Famous Reporter
