Description:
Using the Rorschach inkblots as metaphors, conjuring the wondrous and the monstrous in his poems, Toby Fitch brings a new vision and shape to Australian poetry. Old modes of expression, such as the mythic, the romantic, the symbolic and the surreal, are all given fresh voice and patterning. The poems in Rawshock mythologise love, anxiety, the self and city living, dovetailing inner and outer worlds with a healthy antipodean dose of absinthe and concrete poetry. "Toby Fitch's Rawshock opens onto hell and onto a Eurydice who seems more knowing than she used to, whose eyes tell of gay abandon as well as the old emptying pain. These poems are a fresh, vivid working-through of the myth: a myth that keeps reminding us there's nothing new under the sun, except when poets strike indelible lines from newly minted words charged with the currents of daily usage. The tone is dark, not bitter; the language maps the landscape of an electrified underground: there is music here, but no birds sing in the trees. The artwork is as skilful as the fine handling of the lines, making poetry anew." -Robert Adamson "Makes me feel as if I'm reeling on my feet, as if I were facing a swooning, malevolent abyss." -Judith Beveridge "Apollinaire of Avalon, Lorca of the Inner West. No such comparison, close as it comes, quite does this collection justice. This is simply one of the freshest and most promising new voices we've heard in Australia in years, undiluted, intense, Orphic, daring, with surprise in almost every line, word-play reminiscent of Mallarme, and (at last!) an exciting, uninhibited use of the page. Surely one of the poetry books of the year." -David

Great Shoe
Size: 10.5 Wide, Color: Black Leather/Black
Great shoe! Especially for those that are on the move in a professional setting for a lot of the day. The only issue I’ve had with these so far are my shoe laces are warping. The shoe itself is holding up great.

A great purchase
Size: 10.5, Color: British Tan/Ivory
These shoes are very comfortable and attractive. Lots of people noticed them when I first wore them. I would not consider them the most dressy shoes you can buy, but they work for "business casual" and most other outfits (but not shorts).

All-Day Comfort for 10+ Hour Workdays. Finally Found a Pair That Holds Up
Size: 12, Color: Black Leather/Black, Size: 12, Color: Black Leather/Black
After years of trying different “comfortable” dress shoes, this is the first pair I’ve owned that I can wear for a full 10+ hour workday without counting down the minutes to take them off.
For context, I’m a retail district manager. I’m on my feet most of the day walking stores, standing in conversations, moving constantly. I’ve owned Clarks, Rockport, and even higher-end dress shoes, and while some started out comfortable, none of them held up for an entire day without foot fatigue setting in.
These Cole Haan shoes are different.
What stands out:
All-day comfort: No mid-day foot pain, even after long shifts.
Solid construction: Genuine leather that takes and holds a polish well.
Supportive sole: Noticeably helps with impact from constant walking.
Great value: Performs better than shoes I’ve paid significantly more for.
I also appreciate that they hit a nice middle ground stylistically; more business casual than formal, but still sharp enough for most professional environments.
For additional context, I am a heavier individual and tend to wear down the outer (lateral) edge of my shoes first. That pattern holds true here as well.
The only drawback:
After about two months of wearing them 5 days a week (purchased January 7th), the sole shows more wear than I would expect at this point. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s the reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. I’ll be including a comparison photo between the worn pair and a new pair for reference.
That said, I still expect to get around 8–10 months of use out of them, which at this price point is more than fair.
Bottom line:
If you need a comfortable, reliable, and reasonably priced work shoe for long days on your feet, these outperform just about everything else I’ve tried, and that’s why I bought a second pair.
