CONFETTI TORNADO features Darby's favourite poems made and published over the past ten years, freshly breathed to life with illustration. A parade of the frivolous and foolish, and a meandering among stars, ghosts and dreams, CONFETTI TORNADO is ideal for newcomers to his work, and a colourful sideways new take for those already familiar. Some of these works have been previously published in Best Australian Poems (Black Ink books) and shortlisted for the Newcastle Poetry Prize.
