A scarce chapbook of performance poetry from Melbourne-based poet Komninos Zervos, "The Last Komninos Manifesto" concludes a trilogy of self-titled manifesto chapbooks that positions itself squarely within Australia's 1980s spoken word and counter-culture scene, presenting free verse poems built on traditional rhythms that Zervos crafted for street performance, community spaces, and working-class audiences, tackling subjects drawn from inner-suburban Melbourne life including race, friendship, desire, humour, and the social margins, written in an accessible, fast-paced vernacular that rejects academic poetry in favour of verse that speaks directly to everyday people.
