Contents Under Pressure
Paperback Edition: 1
Contents Under Pressure reads as a novella in verse.
Years after the Christchurch earthquakes, the breakages continue. A young physics student is falling apart. His mother takes to the streets at night, tagging her rage and anguish onto the city's walls. Their story is raw, painful, brave and at times strangely hilarious. Language is shattered in these pages, street art conjures up the nightmares. There's energy to burn here.
Contents Under Pressure blends poetry, narrative and collage, complemented by collage-style illustrations by Gail's daughter Rata Ingram.
