At once erudite and bitingly topical, Carey has a keen eye for the humorous detail and the deeper resonances of global stupidity. Carey shows himself adept at both the brief political quip like the Tony Abbot-inspired \"Captain's Pick Haiku\" or the longer reflective analysis of presidential egomania in \"Another Day at the Office\". I can think of very few poets with such a capacity for sustained humour and inventiveness. Underlying Carey's poems is a clear-sighted voice that registers the follies, pretensions and violence of humanity.' - Peter Boyle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Carey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1760414832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760414832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ginninderra Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.22d","brand":"John Carey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486003474687,"sku":"9781760414832","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_657fc682-8e9e-40b4-91c9-6831bd33ac18.jpg?v=1778053021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/duck-soup-and-swansongs-john-carey-9781760414832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
