As poet Dominic "Tourettes" Hoey tours NZ with his pal Skyscraper Stan, he'll be immortalising each show in a poem.

Enroute to Dunedin 
I feel like microwaved death 
Stan needs a pie 
Josh needs coffee 
I need some inspiration 
9 shows down
8 to go
Who’s idea was it to travel the country 
Telling the same joke every night? 
Josh relives his boy racer youth 
Flying past campervans and cattle trucks 
Shitty tourist traps and slaughterhouses
Cow shit and over-priced bullshit
Sold two boxes of books 
Five to go 
“Litituere who wants some litriture”
Last night at Space Academy 
Someone said
“I read your novel and I hate reading”
Best review ever
