War and Pieces, Nimbin Performance Poems 1990 – 91 by David Hallett

Renowned Nimbin performance poet David Hallett's first collection of poems traces his early trail blazing tours of festivals and the stand-up poetry shows and stages of Australia's capital cities. As one reviewer declared 'This is not poetry to be taken in wistful repose, this is stand up knock down poetry that jumps from the page to the stage, from the satiric to the comedic to the deadly serious'. David's first published collection sets a high bar of a poet who remains on the cutting edge of contemporary Oz poetry.
