'Monstrous contains some famous creatures. You will find poems about Mary Shelley’s monster, who writes a new ending to his story. There are also lesser known monstrosities, such as sharks that eat suns, kings who wear crowns decorated with eyes, evil fairies, and the dubious future of the game of cricket. Garden gnomes, in all their hideous whimsy, keep popping up. They are even found on the moon. Travel there with a nineteenth century adventurer on a steam-engine, along with some hidden aliens. Monsters take many forms, both disturbing and amusing. The horrible and the hilarious walk together in this book.'

1 y separately published work icon Utterly P. S. Cottier , Port Adelaide : Ginninderra Press , 2020 19796497 2020 selected work poetry '‘PS Cottier is not an easy poet - she does not play nicely with the other poets, is not domesticated. Utterly is the work of a significant Australian writer. It is also the work of a smoking, muscle-car loving, clever as fuck, Canberra girl - devastatingly truthful, terrifying and funny. I defy any poetry lover to read these poems and not fall a little in love with the author.’ - Judith Nangala Crispin' (Publication summary)
