Summary

'PS Cottier is not an easy poet - she does not play nicely with the other poets, is not domesticated. Utterly is the work of a significant Australian writer. It is also the work of a smoking, muscle-car loving, clever as fuck, Canberra girl - devastatingly truthful, terrifying and funny. I defy any poetry lover to read these poems and not fall a little in love with the author.' - Judith Nangala Crispin 
Available since: 07/20/2020.

    From the mind of Walter Koenig (Star Trek: The Original Series, Babylon 5) comes Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot - a science-fiction comedy unlike anything you've ever heard before!  When an alien invasion annihilates most of humanity, it's up to a small pocket of survivors to restart civilization.  There's just one problem: they're all losers.From an Irish pub to the Florida Everglades, from the outermost reaches of space to the innermost regions of the mind, join a rag-tag group of humans and aliens as they face the end of one way of life and the beginning of another.  Packed with absurdity, pathos, wry observations about human nature, and a story that will keep you on your toes until the final word, Buck Alice is an emotional journey you'll want to take again and again.  With a full-cast, a sweeping original music score, and thousands of sound effects, the award winning Colonial Radio Theatre On The Air proudly presents a black comedy with a heart that pumps slightly acidic blood.
