dfparizeau's review against another edition
5.0
I'm ashamed to admit that this is my first real foray into Wayde's poetry. I've been familiar with his fiction and been lucky enough to hear him talk about the intricacies of Writer's craft, but am just now scratching the surface of his lyrical work.
Wayde is a wonderful storyteller and this is what I feel forms the bones of Performance Bond. I am marvelled by how adventurous these poems are in terms of style, meter, and form, while also maintaining a strong cohesion.
This book is part history text, part cypher, part scat; a brash collection of poems that I look forward to re-reading many times.
