Satirist, philosopher, elegist, aphorist, cultural historian – Peter Porter is perhaps too singular a talent to be described as ‘representative’ of the age: an Australian whose easy familiarity with the breadth of European culture puts most Europeans to shame, he has long held the reputation of one of our most intellectually promiscuous and culturally sophisticated writers. Porter uses the poem as a means through which a thought can be pursued; this selection from fifty years’ work allows us the first opportunity to fully survey the quality and breadth of that thought, and the unfailing intensity of its light. In short, his Selected Poems is a one-volume education: Porter’s subtle and profound sense of history permits him to read any event as a point in a dynamic space where the forces of time and culture converge. From these coordinates, he gives perspective, direction and bearing to our contemporary life, and allows us to read the pattern of our ideas, art and loves on the map of an ancient terrain. That he has done all this with such immense good humour and human compassion is one of the literary miracles of our time.

Peter Porter's poetry has long teased the imagination of some and spurred the delight of others. His witty, passionate, and energetic verse has made a home for itself in the minds of readers in Australia and elsewhere. This book touches on some of the wellsprings of Porter's imagination, and traces the direction of its flow. It looks both toward the salient features of poetry at any time, and towards Porter's distinctive possession of these. Steele's book assumes that while Porter's poetry finds its origins in distinctive personal experience, it is everywhere transmuted by the power of an extraordinarily original intelligence. Anyone reading Porter for the first time will find in this book cues and clues for its comprehension and enjoyment. The practiced reader of Porter, whether sympathetic or not, will find new challenges.

Better Than God written by Peter Porter and has been published by Pan Macmillan this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011-05-09 with Poetry categories.

Better Than God sees Porter working with a lyric engine tuned to perfection, and a mind that shows every sign of speeding up: Porter can make a song of what another writer might take an essay to cover. Whether working in the forms of epigram or narrative, or writing of memory, mortality, Renaissance intrigue or the surreal distortions of old age – Porter’s faith in poetry as a road to the truth shines through. There are few other writers for whom contemporary events throw such long shadows or for whom the past is so present, and in Better Than God one has the sense of the poet attaining an increasingly commanding height. Porter remains one of the few poets we can open anywhere, and know that we will always be both enlightened and entertained.
