Sinopsis

&lsquo,Witty, finely crafted, genuinely funny, Carey&rsquo,s poems surprise with their clever double takes on society&rsquo,s faults and foibles. 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 &ldquo,Captain&rsquo,s Pick Haiku&rdquo, or the longer reflective analysis of presidential egomania in &ldquo,Another Day at the Office&rdquo,. I can think of very few poets with such a capacity for sustained humour and inventiveness. Underlying Carey&rsquo,s poems is a clear-sighted voice that registers the follies, pretensions and violence of humanity.&rsquo, &ndash, Peter Boyle
