Chorale at the Crossing - Softcover

'One of Britain's best-loved and most prolific poets' Guardian
When Peter Porter died in 2010, his reputation as one of the greatest Australian poets had long been settled. This book gathers together the work Porter completed after the publication of his widely praised final collection, Better than God, and shows a remarkable and capacious mind -apparently furnished with half the contents of Western culture - still working at full tilt, despite the imminence of his own passing. With an introduction from Sean O'Brien and an illuminating afterword from Christine Porter, Chorale at the Crossing contains love poems, comic excursions, and meditations on art, death, music and nature, all written with Porter's peerless technical facility and immense good humour. Chorale at the Crossing is the last word from one of our wisest and most compassionate poets.
