Had been waiting for Luka to come to the book festival ever since I saw him at SPL months ago because I didn't have enough money to buy his book then! What's really cool about this collection is it has QR codes which take to live readings of each poem at the end of the page. Brilliant touch, especially given Luka's performing talent. If you ever get the chance to see live or read, don't miss it!
