Blue Grass

Description

"blue grass" is the astonishing sixth book by Australian poet Peter Minter. This is a major work of lyrical complexity and ethical vision, a turning point for a maturing and daring imagination. Arranged across four parts with an interwoven series of innovative sonnets, the poems are alert and readable, their sensual intelligence concentrated on extraordinarily everyday emotional, political and ecological landscapes. Minter reaches with confidence and care into the furnace of experimental, modern and classical poetries and poetics. The result is the invention of a radically contemporary lyricism.
