Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Thinking - joyous and sly - is the mark of these poems by Petra White. They are odes, elegies, lyric sequences and compact near-sonnets - classical forms of a strong verbal music: a chiming among consonants and syllables, a flexing of line on line, playing into the mind's play, making poetry's invitation to be uttered. Petra White invests them with free-verse vigour, while confidently drawing in some of pentameter's gifts of cadence for phrasing. She leans to themes of growing up, yet autobiography is barely the point. 'Grave' gazes as at a mirror image of a cult childhood. 'Highway', written recently, thinks back into a hippie journey at twenty: 'I' sits very lightly - just visible - in these poems, and in the book. 'Southbank', about office work, is satire, and affection. Her concern is quite general: to say something about our time and place, and the surprise of its opening out to worlds of otherness. The Incoming Tide was shortlisted for the 2007 Judith Wright Calanthe Prize in the Queensland Premier's Literary Awards. It received 'Honourable Mention' in 'The Age' Poetry Book of the Year 2007.

Paperback. This volume opens with a full-length book of new poems by Petra White, A Hunger. Bound-in with it are her two prior books, The Simplified World and The Incoming Tide. The new poems of A Hunger are as lucid as they are mysterious, crafted for the ear, and for an emotional tone that slips delicately between mischievous irony and a cut-through bleakness or joy. A strong theme, in parts, is depression, where White presses beyond personal response into examining darkness itself, in a fierce art that deliberately gives and asks for no indulgence. The same goes for her love poems, in a sequence that plunges into the wild contradictions and poignancy of new love, with glances to Renaissance poets. Contemporary worlds - people and place - are foundation for this poetry, which is haunted by inscrutable time. Her well-known 'Southbank' from her first book is given a further turn in a new sequence, 'The Sound of Work' - this is one of the few contemporary poets to write convincingly of office work. In all, White's poems inhabit life's fragility with a light-footed constancy. By adding her prior two books, the Press intends not only to keep them in print, but to lay out for readers the fullness of the growth of an oeuvre. The poet has taken the opportunity to make a handful of excisions and revisions. These are USED books. Please only purchase if you are happy with that.
