Description:


Once a
working-class heartland, Newcastle is now acclaimed as one of
the top 5 hipster cities in the world. In the sequence of sonnets which compose
her homage to Newcastle, Glastonbury celebrates the city's oddities and
contradictions, remixing the material effects of gentrification with the regional
vernacular and punk drama of locally based social media – blogs, Tumblr,
Instagram, Facebook and Google Maps. An antipodean, regional queering of Ted
Berrigan's New York-based Sonnets, Glastonbury's
poems make music from what's around, embracing both DIY chutzpah and the swipes,
likes, and filtered screens of internet culture. This is Newcastle in cosplay,
part eggs benedict, part pebblecrete, where a coal boat named 'Fiction' is
always approaching the shore.

'Channelling the subconscious of the post-industrial city, Newcastle Sonnets reads like poetic Pop-Rocks, its moments and insights condensed into flares and crackles.' —Vanessa Berry

'Hip, suave, pert,pinpointing, and penetrating, these poems engage with locale in most enterprising ways.' — Judith Beveridge,Australian Book Review— Books of the Year 2018

Wonderful teething toys for small teeth!
We bought these for our new three chihuahua babes and they love them so much! For now, since the babies still get really cold, we just do them as is and are going to hold off on freezing them for a bit but it's still great! They love to chew on either end and the different textures of both the rag and the different ones on the bone itself, keep them really entertained.

Gumby is a hit!
Size: 9 inches - Plush Gumby, Size: 9 inches - Plush Gumby
The dogs LOVE their Gumby toys! Do I expect them to last long? Not with this dog. In fact, the dog pictured began chewing Gumby's arm off shortly after this photo and had to be redirected, given a chew, and the Amazon box to shred before trying Gumby again. However, if your dog is like my Boston and more gentle on soft toys then this toy will last a long time. Her Gumby remains fully intact and loved. So, if you're buying this, just know your dog's style of play and how they treat soft toys, then purchase with reasonable expectations. I knew my wild man would destroy this, he destroys the tough made stuffies, but he has fun doing it and you can't beat the $3 price. Overall it's a cute toy at a good price. It's fun to play fetch with it in the house, but I wouldn't tug at it. Playing tug could rip it.

GREAT for small dogs!
Size: 6 inches - Plush Gumby
My Pekingese, Yuki, has tiny and shallow jaws. So, it’s tough to find toys she can hold, let alone squeak. But “Gumby” was a surprise, and a fast favorite. The fur is pleasantly smooth, vs. dense. It seems to help. The front/back are somewhat flattened. That seems to help, too. The squeaker is strategically placed…. Thus, she can easily mouth the neck/head area, regardless of the arm placement to easily squeak away…. And what fun to twirl. I’ll grab an arm, and spin her in circles. It’s wonderfully stitched. Nary a worry about an arm coming off. A truly quality toy…. Purchase for your wee one with confidence!

After a good scrub, the dogs love them!
Size: 9 inches - Latex Gumby, Size: 9 inches - Latex Gumby
These gumby toys are flexible rubber, and exactly what you'd expect for the price. I ordered three to replace two that had been gifts well loved by my dogs. I read reviews mentioning smell, but wasn't really prepared for it when the package arrived. They all arrived zip tied to a paperboard backing. They all smelled like a fine fragrance designed for robots - like burning motor oil with floral undertones - and the zip ties were stained a sickly green wherever they touched Gumby. Initially, my dogs wanted nothing to do with them, even after a good scrub. I left them to air out in the shed for a few days and then ran them through the dishwasher (without cleanser!) and they were good to go. My dogs love these toys. I know they're not going to last long! I know the arms will get yanked or chewed off first, and then the corner of Gumby's head will go missing. Eventually, his head will be ripped into tiny pieces and strewn about my living room. I know that, sooner or later (and probably sooner!), Gumby will be little more than a torso with weird square legs. And that's okay, because that means my dogs enjoyed the toy. People complaining about a $7 flexible rubber toy not being appropriate for heavy chewers don't understand what dogs need, or what dog toys are for. Part of the satisfaction that chewing brings for dogs is also shredding. Dogs destroy stuff. Some more than others. It's what they do. No toy will last forever if it's used! But I have five dogs, including bully breeds and a Saint Bernard, plus two occasional visitors, and these toys have lasted longer than expected (even if their arms are off in minutes!) The dogs in the pictures are 90 and 120 pounds, modeling both a well loved older Gumby and a brand new one.
