An impractical guidebook for wasting your life, the joy of bed, and just muddling through... wrapped in sideways wisdom and optimistic nihilism. Waste Your Life To The Fullest is Darby Hudson's fourth collection of 60 mind monkeys in the form of poems and illustrations.Darby has previously been published in Best Australian Poems (Black Inc Books) and a finalist in the Newcastle Poetry Prize.

CONFETTI TORNADO features Australian artist and poet, Darby Hudson's best poems published over the past ten years, freshly breathed to life with illustration. A parade of the frivolous and foolish, and a meandering among stars, ghosts and dreams, CONFETTI TORNADO is ideal for newcomers to his work. And it's a colourful sideways new take for those already familiar. Some of these works have been previously published in Best Australian Poems (Black Ink books) and shortlisted for the Newcastle Poetry Prize.

A third collection of poetry by writer/illustrator Darby Hudson that talks of gettting through the day, cats, and living a life full of poetry. Previously published in Best Australian Poems anthologies by Black Inc Books.I need two things to happen while writing: my hands to write the words, and my heart to somehow see possibility in them. And this collusion to become a continual, self-perpetuating process. Until a whole sentence is formed - something from nothing. It's like blowing wind from my mouth into the sails of this strange boat I sit in. And against all science and logic, arriving in some faraway land.From "A Mountain Of Tiny Courages""What Keeps you from the ledge? A person? A place? A poem? Darby Hudson's work does just that. A reason to continue. To be understood. Just by his words." -Alexander Calvert, actor, Supernatural"Darby Hudson's poems are radical in the sense that they are companionable, eager to communicate with the reader, and to celebrate humanity in all of its dimensions, textures, and states of being. You won't find those qualities in most contemporary poetry, which is laden with the intentionally obscure and preciously inscrutable. It's about time poetry became good company again, a feat fully realized by A Mountain of Tiny Courages."-Joseph Massey, author of Rosary Made of Air
