Trigger Warning

by Maria Takolander

Trigger Warning is not for the fainthearted, but neither are domestic violence and environmental catastrophe, the topics that the poems in this book address. Bringing together the confessional and the experimental, this is poetry alive to its time and its audience. Won the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award and was shortlisted for the Australian Literature Society Gold Medal.
