The Mother Must Die

The fashion industry is killing the planet but I really need that new designer handbag ... Her daughter is divorcing and she's going to die because of it ... The mother must be medicated ... I'm in Australia but I just want to be in Cyprus ... She's never had an orgasm and still lives with her parents ... Anything my boys want they get ... He's got a whole bank of chicks on his phone ... Ever since I came to this country I been in bed ... Until her children can get her the new drug for the MND, she will dream of her village in Greece ... Conquests are about scoring the chicks, but he's never going to turn out like his nonno ... They never talked about what her uncle did again ... The money made him go mad ... My mummy is sad, she keeps talking about 'court and custody', but I'm' going to take the potion and make everything better ...

Bestselling poet Koraly Dimitriadis's debut collection will transport you into the minds of disenfranchised characters, troubled men, children who live in two homes, and women trying to break free.
