Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Prove that you are a human.Do something lovelyor viciousor both. 'A rare and memorable poetry that shines with colour and sensation. But also a poetry of sharp insight, wit and resistance.' - Tom Shapcott'Few fully appreciate his range and uniqueness as a poet living both in the Australian mindscape, and distinctly outside it . Ladd is an iconoclast and an icon-maker all at once.' - John Kinsella'While the poetry always retains a light touch, and is self-aware in the most postmodern of ways, these pieces go deeper than they seem to at first glance and leave a powerful sensation in their wake.' - Magdalena Ball'Ladd's pace is subtle, his timing perfect. There is a thought-provoking playfulness that is not practiced, but rather intuitive.' - Heather Taylor-Johnson'Mike Ladd has a wonderful economy to his lines, making the short lyric poem do a great deal in the way of emotional registration and acute observation.' - John Jenkins Prove that you are a human.Do something lovelyor viciousor both.

Mike Ladd's essays are generated by a process which came to him in a dream. They embrace randomness, cascading internet searches and accidental correspondences with waking life. Cathy Brooks's images are extrapolations of the essays using photography from her extensive archive, drawing, collage, painting and photoshop. By curious, serio-comic routes, Dream Tetras traverses a wide range of subjects: from love, working life, sex and crime, to art-criticism, loneliness, power, and impermanence.
