'Tickets to the Fall of Icarus charts the flight of two flamboyant characters, Icarus and Audrey, as they navigate their way through the maelstrom of modern life amidst natural disasters, pandemics, online dating and even a little self-sabotage.
'In artfully executed narrative poetry, Gering deploys his inimitable style and humour to bring characters into dynamic life on the page. There are few readers who won't see glimmers or shards of themselves in Audrey and Icarus.
'These vignettes are surprising, bittersweet and strangely insightful as they coalesce in a collection that is a challenging but joyful exploration of what it means to be alive and incisively engaged in the 21st century.' (Publication summary)
