Everyone is Everyone Except You (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781916938311)

Everyone is Everyone Except You, the honest and hilarious debut poetry collection from one of Aotearoa's most charismatic poets, begins as a eulogy but opens out to a profound acceptance for the less-than-glamorous things that populate a life: failed relationships and confused intimacy; bad advice and poor preparation for manhood. Along the way, unexpected joys emerge, like eloping to Carterton in a Corolla, or getting it on to the memory of the All Blacks. Alternately comical and insightful, Jordan Hamel reinvents the time-honoured portrait-of-the-artist for a millennial sensibility.
