Family Trees sees the return of familiar characters such as Pope Pinocchio, alongside new figures Lord Marmalade, Cherry the 'Kiama Scammer' and Adam, a paranoid country English teacher. Presented in film-like scenarios, Farrell’s characters are often busily thinking, while also participating in more mundane forms of activity - gossip and sleep and work. The book includes a number of South Coast poems that take a poking interest in how language blooms off-track. It’s about memory, fantasy and the possibilities of living in conceptual space. Anything that has roots can be a family tree.
