    About this ebook

    Agony is the first in a trilogy of long confessional poems. It uses semi-rigorous mathematical and logical constraints to view the author's life and body, telescopically, as little bits of time and space. Everything written here is as true as possible – that is to say, pretty true. It attempts autobiography as a refutation of autobiography, and an elevation of the self as self-effacement. Love pops up as a theme quite a bit. So does self-mutilation, etc. There are a lot of numbers, but don't worry, it's more about politics and fantasy than numbers, even though, as usual, they show up everywhere. Just like pieces of your body after you've cut them off and scattered them all over the world, and then go out looking for them again, for some reason.

      Kia ora! Hi. Over here. Yes, that’s me waving at you from the centre of your face. I know we’ve had an awkward relationship at times. Like that time I wouldn’t stop dripping while you were trying to impress the school principal and you ended up with

      The HEAT is ON

      Feb 18, 2022

      IT’S 3 am and still 32°C of hell out there. I am not where I should be, which is lying peacefully under the civilised whirr of the ceiling fan in my lovely quiet room next to my deeply sleeping husband. I’d like to repeat that, actually: my deeply sl
