A review by book0logy
Oyster by Michael Pedersen

5.0

Every poem in this collection is witty, relatable and insightful and yet is a breath of fresh air. The use of dialect, text message inserts and humour is all new and exciting, and makes this collection a joy to read. There is real narrative to all of Pedersen's poetry, to a point where you don't need the recorded releases of some of the poems to truly hear his voice. Like his other work, Play With Me, Pedersen offers dalliances in romance and politics back to back, and presents the world through his eyes and accompanied with a wry smile.
