'Girls Like Me, the first collection of poetry from Teri Louise Kelly, showcases the work of an author whose life has been lived both within, and beyond, the borders of the genetic binary system. Her book is simultaneously coy, overt, reflective and sentimental. Featuring collaborative works with four of Adelaide's leading poets, Girls Like Me is a eulogy to fifty years of having to suck in oxygen, but also an unequivocal declaration of independence from an independent entity still kicking after all those strange years.' (Publisher's blurb)

1 2 y separately published work icon Last Bed on Earth Teri Louise Kelly , Kent Town : Wakefield Press , 2009 Z1580238 2009 single work autobiography humour 'Teri Louise Kelly and her partner in crime, Jo Buck, arrive penniless in New Zealand from the UK on the hunt for a 'better way of life'. Instead they find a situation vacant ad, and become managers of a 100-bed backpacking hostel, attending the peculiar whims of the budget-travelling army as it descends through the long white clouds bearing rucksacks, innumerable contagious diseases and too little in the way of good sense.

Last Bed on Earth tells the story of those six months of mayhem in the adventure capital of the world as viewed from behind a wire-mesh cage - and from the unique perspective of a man who became a woman acting the role of a man.' (Publisher's blurb)
