Fast Forward

Michelangelo was, apart from being a sculptor, architect, and painter of genius, a poet and letter-writer of remarkable accomplishment. George Bull, a distinguished translator of many Italian classics, has brought his skill and experience to bear on translating this new selection of Michelangelo's letters and poetry, as well as the Life, the biography written by Michelangelo's pupil Ascanio Condivi.

Peter Porter is one of our most acclaimed contemporary poets. He is a past winner of both the Whitbread Poetry Prize and the coveted Australian Gold Medal for Literature. In this collection of fifty new poems, Porter addresses a great mixture of subjects, ranging from the autobiographical to the general. The overall theme, however, is the divisiveness of language not in the world at large, but rather as seen from the "Chair of Babel" that presides over the modern academy.

This is a new collection of poems by Peter Porter, one of today's most established and successful poets. These poems continue in the same vein of prophecy as his last book, Millennial Fables, but in this collection his tone is lighter, sometimes quirky and humorous, and the detail of the poetry is more down-to-earth. With various verse forms, Porter visits many countries, including his homeland, Australia, his beloved Italy, and that special country of the Nineteenth Century. A feeling of greater clarity-- a lyricism occasioned by alarm--prevails in these poems by a profound, wide-ranging, and eloquent poet.
