'How to be Hungry is Stu Hatton's much-anticipated debut collection. The poems thread in diverse directions, but the book's overriding theme is desire and its offshoots: craving, aversion, addiction. How to be Hungry also explores the darker edges (disconnection, deception, anxiety) and possibilities for navigating these (mindfulness, meditation, creativity). Along the way the reader is teleported to cafés, bars, nightclubs, houseparties, a rehab clinic, a psychiatric ward, a meditation hall, a golf course, beaches, offices, cities, suburbs, highways, strange interiors... and various hells.'
