What is the author's style in The Nerve by Glyn Maxwell?

Maxwell's poem “The Nerve” is written in iambic feet, each foot containing first an unstressed syllable and then a stressed syllable. Note the word “perhaps” in the first stanza. The first syllable (per-) is unstressed, with the second syllable (-haps) receiving the stress. For people who speak English, iambic meter in poetry is the most natural rhythm. It is a rhythm most similar to the spoken language.
