Ask Me About the Future by Rebecca Jessen
Full of zest and flair, Jessen's poems map constellations of desire, loss and longing. Riffing on the future (which isn't what it used to be), dating apps, despair, Bonnie Tyler, Taylor Swift and the lesbian Bachelorette, they are set in interstellar queer utopias, maternity wards and single beds.These are poems of sly surprises, radical vulnerability, dark-edged humour and vast originality. Following Jessen's award-winning verse novel, Gap,this collection confirms Jessen as one of the most engaging and talented writers of her generation.
Rebecca Jessen won the 2012 State Library of Queensland Young Writers Award for her short story Gap. In 2013 she won the Queensland Literary Award for Best Emerging Author for its novelization.
