    'No Ticket No Start is the tough, no frills result of 'workin' on a buildin' ': it's just that Geoff Goodfellow's work was not so much to lift and carry (though he's done his share of that) as to watch and record. He is a keen and astute watcher and a recorder of uncompromising force.

    'This is a book about work and workers - it laments injustices and defeats and celebrates the occasional win, but above all, it 'dips its lid to no man'.' (Publication summary)

Works about this Work

y separately published work icon Triggers : Turning Experiences into Poetry Geoff Goodfellow , Kent Town : Wakefield Press Australian Association for the Teaching of English , 1992 Z481270 1992 single work criticism

'To write a poem requires inspiration. It also requires craft. In Triggers one poet shows how he has been inspired to write by the events of his everyday life and how he has developed methods for turning these experiences into poems.

''You learn to do things well by being in the presence of someone who is highly competent and willing to show you how. In Triggers, Geoff Goodfellow has generously opened windows on his thoughts and composing processes as a poet. The result is a unique, dynamic and educational enticement to the many apprentice writers in Australia. Teachers will welcome it and students will love it!' - Garth Boomer, Acting Director-General of Education, South Australia

''The poet needs a trigger to release the poem which is already there in mind, just waiting to be found. It is the same for novelists. All writers need triggers.' - Rodney Hall, Writer and Chair of The Australia Council for the Arts' (Publication summary)
