Published\/broadcast in over 400 different channels, magazines, anthologies \u0026amp; newspapers across 33 countries in 15 languages. Stylistically, the poet sits between camps. Seen as both a \u0026amp;#x27;stage\u0026amp;#x27; and \u0026amp;#x27;page\u0026amp;#x27; poet, his work is a mix of accessibility and dense use of language. He is a master of capturing the vernacular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoems are both humorous and fierce, often in the same poem. He has been a guest at the world's largest poetry festivals. Wicks runs Meuse Press, which has focused on poetry outreach projects like \u003ci\u003eArtransit\u003c\/i\u003e which put poetry and art into Sydney\/Newcastle buses but that is just one of dozens of similar roles: some predictable like literary magazines while others range as far afield as publishing a poem on the surface of a river. The most recent publication edited is \u003ci\u003eOutrageous  Guide to Sydney Crime\u003c\/i\u003e. As a poet with a firm focus on content this collection eschews the traditional linear structure in favour of a theme-based exposition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47925020590238,"sku":"ING-9781922571267","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781922571267.jpg?v=1782957597","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781922571267","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
