'In 2012 poet and writer Joel Deane suffered a stroke. Suddenly he was a poet without language. Year of the Wasp tracks Deane’s journey to rediscover his poetic voice.

From these deeply personal origins Deane’s third poetry collection rises to confront the realities of politics and culture, language and love in contemporary Australia. It is a journey of poetic transfiguration that produces a work of unrivalled power, emotional intensity, and insight.' (Publication summary)

'Most days my dog Berkeley, a black labrador-cocker spaniel cross, takes me for a walk. If there's time to kill, we weave through the 1960s-era suburban streets of Doncaster and follow an underarm of greenery that runs beneath the shoulder of the Eastern Freeway. If Berkeley and I are full of beans, we run to the freeway and back - a circuit just shy of five kilometres - although we've never mastered the heartbreak hill that is High Street. If time is tight, or I'm lazy, we amble to the oval at the end of my street, where Berkeley sniffs the backsides of my neighbours' dogs for 20 minutes then announces she's ready to return home by crapping in the grass beside the concrete cricket pitch.'
