Product Description

Once a working-class heartland, Newcastle is now acclaimed as one of the top five hipster cities in the world. In the sequence of sonnets that compose her homage to Newcastle, Glastonbury celebrates the city's oddities and contradictions, remixing the material effects of gentrification with the regional vernacular and punk drama of social media - blogs, Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook and Google Maps. An antipodean, regional, queering of Ted Berrigan's New York-based Sonnets, Glastonbury's poems make music from what's around, embracing both DIY chutzpah and the swipes, likes, and filtered screens of internet culture. This is Newcastle in cosplay, part eggs benedict, part pebblecrete, where a coal boat named 'Fiction' is always approaching the shore. Australian poetry -- 21st century. | Newcastle (N.S.W.) -- Poetry. | Australian
