Synopsis

JOINT WINNER GEOFF STEVENS MEMORIAL POETRY PRIZE 2022 POETRY KIT BOOK OF THE MONTH - OCTOBER 2023 Learning Springsteen on my language app is a poetry collection which takes everyday objects and happenings and twists them into the surreal. Conversations with the dead sit next to fantasies about the perfect white shirt, a party to celebrate the end of the world nestles next to a memory of a Shell Petrol Station. As the title poem suggests, an investigation of language prevails in this collection, with poems about sitting in on an adult literacy class, a debate about gravestone inscriptions and an unsuccessful poetry workshop.
