TE HERENGA WAKA UNIVERSITY PRESS

this impressive debut has established Hera Lindsay Bird as a good girl…..……with many beneficial thoughts and feelings………

with themes as varied as snow and tears, the poems in this collection shine with the fantastic cream of who she is………juxtaposing many classical and modern breezes

Bird turns her prescient eye on love and loss, and what emerges is like a helicopter in fog……....…or a bejewelled Christmas sleigh, gliding triumphantly through the contemporary aesthetic desert………

this is at once an intelligent and compelling fantasy of tenderness………A

heartbreaking and charged with trees..........…without once sacrificing the forest………

Whether you are masturbating luxuriously in your parent’s sleepout………

………or pushing a pork roast home in a vintage pram………

this is the book for you………………………

heroically and compulsively stupid………………………………………

…………………………………whipping you once again into medieval sunlight.

Hera Lindsay Bird writes sardonically yet with feeling - and occasionally with a tenderness that hits you straight in the heart - about everything from relationships and bisexuality to Nostradamus, art and life. In this, her self-titled debut collection, she gathers many of the poems which have already won her an enthusiastic readership around the world, including the viral hits 'Monica' (about the character from 

Friends) and the incomparable 'Keats is Dead so Fuck Me from Behind'.

Goofy, absurd and frequently outrageous, this book presents a fresh and original new voice, marrying the energy of the surrealist one-liner to a roving intelligence, a sharp wit, and an instinctive talent for the utterly memorable image and phrase.

PAMPER ME TO HELL & BACK
