1 1 y separately published work icon The Little Book of Sunlight and Maggots Michael Aiken , Nedlands : UWA Publishing , 2019 15840129 2019 selected work poetry 'Pathos meets humour in Michael Aiken’s eco-urban world of devastating settler contingencies, commuter ennui, and weedy exuberance. Enjoyable and witty, spare and songful, these poems are unsentimentally attentive to the other than humans that share our suburbs. The Little Book of Sunlight and Maggots is both open- eyed and uncannily hopeful in its engagements with the tragic overlay of concrete on Country.'
