'Triptych Poets: Issue Three features new poetry from three new and emerging Australian poets - P.S. Cottier, Joan Kerr and Josh Inman. From P.S. Cottier's keen and humorous insights into the wonders of the everyday; to Joan Kerr's exploration of dying languages and the meaning they leave behind; to J.C. Inman's limerent lyrical laments about the tragedy of modern relationships - Triptych Poets: Issue Three is new poetry at its unabashed best.'
