Stephen Oliver is a prolific Australasian poet who has published 17 volumes of poetry. His latest collection, Gone: Satirical Poems: New & Selected, brings together a diverse range of poetic forms including villanelles, sonnets, ballads, and ballades. Oliver's poetry has an invigorating and sardonic edge driven by dark humor. The poems in this collection lampoon a narcissistic world, telling tales of murder, drunkenness, and debauchery through deft satire. While always entertaining, Oliver's poems also often possess a subtle power to disturb and provoke through their satirical commentary on modern society and culture.
