Things OK with you? offers stubbornness, beauty, shrugging, and deep satisfaction, but I think its soft-spoken tenderness is its most generous gift.' —Sophie van Waardernberg, Academy of NZ Literature‘O’Sullivan’s new collection is a form of poetry as mesh. The poems and collection as a whole resemble a web, an interlacing of ideas, things, experiences, characters, musical fluencies, silences, humour, story, admissions.’ —Paula Green
