Publisher's Synopsis
*How to be Hungry* is Stu Hatton's first book. Its poems attempt reconnaissance of elsewheres, continually investigating desire and its offshoots: craving, aversion, addiction. *How to be Hungry* also explores 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.
