Leigh Nash's first full-length poetry collection is jammed with surprises and conundrums: lovesick whales, a mermaid Virgin Mary, pumpkins tossed from windowsÑa litany of strange a nd striking questions. The poems in Goodbye, Ukulele layer stark images that yield truths, lies, and what glimmers between. Blending crisp language, an often humorous absurdity, and a lush darkness, Nash's poems evoke 'Silver thick with years of tarnish. A bloody heart with one bite missing.'
