Summary

This bartop burlesquer of a book holds forth like the boozehound it is on everything from beards to chooks to Germaine Greer to Bob Ellis in a bikini, rum babas and flower fondling. Drunkenly lurching from haiku to triolet, the Burns meter to back-alley free verse, Hangover Music is a drink-mixing extravaganza that'll put hair on your dog. 
‘The best beer poet in Melbourne.’ - Emily Day, editor, Froth magazine 
‘Having missed the opportunity to be the first to read the “Man from Nantucket”, I would be honoured.’ - James Morrow, Daily Telegraph (on being shown the manuscript and asked for a blurb).
Available since: 11/08/2018.

    Hollywood is indelibly printed in our minds as the ‘go-to’ place for entertainment and has been for decades.  When there really did seem to be more stars in Hollywood than in Heaven Hollywood Stage had them performing films as radio plays – on the sponsors dime of course.  Classic films now become audiobooks with many featuring the original stars from way back when. Here's Strawberry Blonde starring Don Ameche & Rita Hayworth.

    Charles Bukowski, poet, novelist, short-story writer, journalist, and cult figure of the dissident and rebellious was born in Germany in 1920 and died in the USA in 1994. During his life he was hailed as "laureate of American lowlife" by Time magazine literary critic Adam Kirsch of The New Yorker wrote: "The secret of Bukowski's appeal...(is that) he combines the confessional poet's promise of intimacy with the largerthan-life aplomb of a pulp-fiction hero."Bukowski was one of the most unconventional writers and cultural critics of the 20th century. He lived an unorthodox, idiosyncratic life and wrote in a style that was unique—one that is impossible to classify or categorize. His work was at times cynical or humorous, but was always brilliant and challenging. His life and work are distinguished not only by a remarkable talent for words, but also by his rejection of the dominant social and cultural values of American society. Bukowski began writing at the age of forty and published forty-five books, six of them novels. He is also considered one of the great literary voices of Los Angeles.In Bukowski For Beginners, playwright Carlos Polimeni evaluates the life and literary achievements of the cult writer whose voice of dissidence and discontent is still heard and appreciated by readers worldwide.

    But God speaks through wombs,
    
    birthing prophetic utterances. . . .
    
    Enough of this unbelieving religion
    
    that masquerades as faith.
    
    Divine favor is placed on what we
    
    have disgraced.
    In God Speaks Through Wombs, Drew Jackson explores the first eight chapters of Luke's Gospel in a new poetic register. These are declarative poems, faithfully proclaiming the gospel story in all its liberative power. Here the gospel is the "fresh words / that speak of / things impossible."
    From the Magnificat ("That girl can sing! . . . She has a voice / That can shatter shackles") to the baptism of Christ ("I stepped in / Committing insurrection"), this collection helps us hear the hum of deliverance—against all hope—that's been in the gospel all along.
