P(oe)Ms

Structured in the anagrammatic form, Drayton’s poems are ‘beau presents’ bestowed upon each of Australia’s Prime Ministers. Witty, engaging and playfully political, P(oe)Ms sketches tales of each PM in chronological order, along with Drayton’s own hand-drawn caricatures. Containing brief biographies and infamous anecdotes, P(oe)Ms is irreverent word play that maintains joyful relevance.

‘One dear yarn to envy over – adored and adorned.’ – David Astle
