Eagerly awaited new poetry from one of Australia's finest poets.

'Get in loser. Brace yourself. Liam Ferney's new book has landed and it's punchy, raw and raucous as well.

'The Shark of Messina is a book for the new roaring twenties; it's recent history as a kind of rock and roll comic book fantasia, complete with characters we know, or think we know Trump and Rambo, Keanu and Satan. Haters rule. This book is full of lines you'll probably want to quote and pass off as your own, for instance, "We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts / And their neighbors." As Ferney implies, we're all "losers" in that world' Rae Armantrout
