All Kinds of Disorder by Nick Burbridge
ISBN 1 902731 29 8
The Waterloo Samplers series is characterised by high production values, and this collection is no exception. Nick Burbridge's poetry makes the reader work to varying degrees and for this reader is most successful when less densely textured than in, for example, 'Shrink': 'Involvement begins with a steep roll in the gut./You are not in the business of support./Order the bolt at the temple.' More obviously personal poems like 'The Man Next Door' and 'Just Like That' are very accomplished pieces of writing.
