DUCK SOUP AND SWANSONGS - Tecno-Libro

?Witty, finely crafted, genuinely funny, Careys poems surprise with their clever double takes on societys 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 ¿Captains 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 Careys poems is a clear-sighted voice that registers the follies, pretensions and violence of humanity. Peter Boyle
