Emma Neale.

89 pages.

Summary: Liar, liar, lick, spit, the new collection by Otepoti poet and writer Emma Neale, is fascinated by our doubleness. Prompted by the rich implications in a line from Joseph Brodsky - 'The real history of consciousness starts with one's first lie' - it combines a personal memoir of childhood lies with an exploration of wider social deceptions.
