The poems included in this book explore many key contemporary issues, such as the relationship between the sexes; violence against girls and women; sexuality and gender identity; the relationship between human beings, animals and the environment; religion and spirituality; mental health and psychiatry; work, meaning, and exploitation; poverty and homelessness; multiculturalism; the value of children; and social community. The poet is also a professional philosopher, with a Ph.D. in philosophy, and so the book is informed by a lot of theoretical reading. However, while the insights of theoretical reading can often require much laborious study and be difficult to grasp and understand, this book is not itself theoretical but, rather, is highly accessible, able to be understood by a wide ranging readership. The writing is by turns innovative, playful, humorous, and visual, and engages readers in a number of ways.
