Out of the Way World Here Comes Humanity!

"Up-to-the-minute reportage on our fraught zeitgeist, conveyed with vitality and satirical humour." - Hugh Major

Ranging from an individual's birth to the death of the planet, this urgent collection reflects back to us the perilous state of our world. Written by a fed up boomer determined to call out our collective stupidity, Out of the way world is simultaneously justifiably cynical, cavalierly mocking and bitingly realistic.

Picture humanity crammed into

a gigantic kick-ass double cab ute

burning through fossil fuel

like there's no tomorrow

our symbol of what's important

- crucifix tractor Buddha furry kiwi

bullet dollar sign fluffy red dice -

bouncing under the rear-view mirror

as we drive like crazy

veering right then left

indifferent to the roadkill ...

"Hauntingly on the nose. I love this collection. I think everyone should read it right now! Many lines bear rereading and copying for future quotation. I stopped making my list before the end and just enjoyed. It is wonderful!" - Judith Hoch

"New Zealand literature has no one quite like Keith Hill. Always surprising, a genuine original." - Roger Horrocks
