Everyone Is Everyone Except You

Jordan Hamel

Award winning poet Jordan Hamel's debut collection 'Everyone is everyone except you' is a rickety rollercoaster ride through a house haunted by society's dumbest ghosts. Taking an anxious look around and inside himself, Hamel uses these poems to reflect on and interrogate masculinity, sexuality, mental illness, productivity and all the rest of your favourite false idols with humour, heartbreak and absurdity. Featuring an all-singing, all-dancing cast of characters including life coaches, pool boys, priests, farmers, All Blacks, Danny Ocean, Paris Hilton, the Briscoes lady, Mel Gibson, Carrie Bradshaw, Goku and the big guy upstairs, you don't want to miss this tender, inventive, ambitious offering from one of Aotearoa's most exciting new poets.
