Description - Duck Soup and Swansongs by John Carey
‘Witty finely crafted genuinely funny Carey’s poems surprise with their clever double takes on society’s faults and foibles. At once erudite and bitingly topical Carey has a keen eye for the humorous detail and the deeper resonances of global stupidity. Carey shows himself adept at both the brief political quip like the Tony Abbot-inspired “Captain’s Pick Haiku” or the longer reflective analysis of presidential egomania in “Another Day at the Office”. I can think of very few poets with such a capacity for sustained humour and inventiveness. Underlying Carey’s poems is a clear-sighted voice that registers the follies pretensions and violence of humanity.’ – Peter Boyle
