a raiders guide

At the time of its original publication, a raiders guide was celebrated for its glitchy aesthetic, using tropes from contemporary music to remix and sample lines. This book, as fresh and surprising as when it was first published, will be compelling to new readers, and offers followers of Farrell's work an insight into the characteristic poetic style he has developed and refined over the subsequent decade. 

'A poetry of the glitch...these poems function like the proverbial spanner in the works of semantic distribution, so important to conventional lyric poetry'. — Jaya Savage, Sydney Morning Herald

'Farrell's peculiarly amusing playfulness is the most consistent tone, killing any expected gesture, throttling any cliché.' — Gig Ryan, ABR
