Contents Under Pressure blends poetry, narrative and collage, and is complemented by collage-style illustrations. It tells the story of a mother-turned-graffiti-artist and her teenage sons, who experience mental health and drug issues as they grow up through the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquakes. Provoking and unsettling, it takes a fresh look at the emotional impact and after-effects of the quakes. Bernadette Hall has said: This family's story is raw, painful, brave and at times strangely hilarious. Language is shattered in these pages, street art conjures up the nightmares. There's energy to burn here. Contents Under Pressure is a book for readers of poetry, flash fiction, novels in flash or poetry; art lovers, street-art lovers and graffiti-art lovers; those interested in the effects of disasters at personal, social and political levels. One poem won the 2016 NZ Poetry Society International Competition, another Runner Up in 2005 takahe competition; eleven poems have been published in literary journals in NZ or overseas. Contents Under Pressure, is a story of our time, a novel and exciting addition to New Zealand literature.
