Publisher Description:

"We have entered the territory of concrete poetry here, where the extreme formality of the book's layout begins to shape content. The expressionistic and often elevated lyricism of Quads is held in a fine balance by the book's formal restraint, and Oulipo meets concrete poetry in the service of conceptual play. But there is also passionate protest, mostly against the inescapable crap of life " - John Jenkins, Cordite

Chris Mansell has published over a dozen books of poetry and a collection of short fiction, has been translated into many languages, and won prizes for her work. She is known for her experimentalm and sometimes seriously playful approach in which she crosses boundaries but, like all true poets, stays true to her words. She gives engaging readings which bring audiences into the sounds of the poems. Chris Mansell lives in the beautiful Shoalhaven in New South Wales among the beaches and the cows, but travels frequently to cities to engage and perform there.
