'Kate Liston-Mills's lush but precise prose and fresh perspective gives this collection about the tough stuff of ordinary life immense energy, beauty and warmth. That she manages to get depth of character and intense sense of place in such a slim collection is a true wonder, as is her ability to show the inherent drama and tragedy of everyday life without every straying into sentimentality or bleakness.'

"The Waterfowl Are Drunk! is a poetic treasure. Kate Liston-Mills has captured the intimacy and isolation of rural Australian life. Unlike anything I've read before, heartbreakingly funny, vivid and moving." MEGHAN BREWSTER, writer and blogger "Disarmingly Aussie, pairing difficcult issues with humour, laconicism and domesticity." BRIDGET LUTHERBORROW, Going Down Swinging "Working in the best traditions of the tall tales and urban myths repeated and embellished in country pubs the nation over, The Waterfowl Are Drunk! is a richly rendered and skillful meditation on birth, death and disability in coastal, regional New South Wales." L PHILLIP LUCAS, writer and blogger
