Julie O’Callaghan observes life with a sharp wit and a wicked gift for mimicry. Her characters vent strong feelings and betray revealing weaknesses in their own colourful words. What’s What includes a second helping of her incisive monologues – a delicious form she made her own in her first book, Edible Anecdotes – as well as a series of original, tantalising and sometimes bizarre mini-dramas. The book ends with a wide-ranging section of poems in which she evokes people and places, often in a distinctively personal voice. What’s What is an unusually entertaining and accessible book of poems. Poetry Book Society Choice.
