Spirit in Exile: Peter Porter and His Poetry
No Customer Reviews
One of Australia's most distinguished and influential poets, Peter Porter is the author of a dozen volumes of verse, among them his award-winning Collected Poems and The Automated Oracle. The first biography and major critical appraisal of this great poet, this book provides startling insight into the poet's personal life and literary methods, the importance of his decision to "exile" himself in Britain as a young man, and his increasing influence on generations of Australian writers. Examining all of Porter's work, including his multitude of reviews of films, operas, and literary works, Spirit in Exile provides a comprehensive and authoritative study of this prolific poet.
