Originally published in 1974, this was the first study by a well-known critic, of the poetry and prose of D. J. Enright, a poet whose work is informed by a deep and attractive humanism. His poetry traces the contours of everyday speech, and has a strongly autobiographical character. It is engagingly spry and amusing but also serious and moving. It expresses the sensibility of a man who has spent much of his career abroad, and this international experience seems to have peculiar relevance to modern life. In addition, the book demonstrates that Enright is one of the most remarkable of recent critics in range, perception and wit.

The Poets is a novella in the form of a census. It is a cavalcade of poets real and imagined. Young poets take their first steps into print and find a voice which they attach to their name. They travel through their middle years-marrying, making babies, divorcing, winning prizes, losing face. And at last they age, burnishing their reputations and settling scores as they face their readers' scrutiny and their own mortality. /// "A stunning river of words."-Sara Pirkle, author of The Disappearing Act "A collective biography of all the poets in our midst-the famous, the infamous, the obscure, and the quotidian. Sentence by sentence, The Poets reveals the poetic in the prosaic, and the various ways that art reveals the human in both." -Pedro Ponce, author of The Devil and the Dairy Princess: Stories "It's rare to find a genre-defying work that is by turns-and sometimes all at once-absurdly comedic, straight-faced satirical, psychologically insightful, and unexpectedly heartbreaking. The Poets is such a work, and readers are bound to see-somewhere in its fun-house mirrors-their worlds, their neighbors, themselves."-Joseph Fasano, author of The Dark Heart of Every Living Thing

Originally published in 1977, this study is both a sympathetic insight into the Nobel Prize winning author Patrick White and his work and also a guidebook and map to one of the most complicated and significant bodies of work in 20th century literature. Along with creative energy the qualities of largeness and uninhibited confidence are present in all White’s major works and in particular the group which includes The Tree of Man, Voss, Riders in the Chariot, The Solid Mandala, The Vivisector, The Eye of the Storm and A Fringe of Leaves. The use of language bears the indelible stamp of the writer’s personality and domination of the material to the extent of ignoring many common formalities of language and syntax and making frequent and prolonged use of metaphor to sustain and enrich the narrative. These very strengths ensure that White will never be an easy writer, making this invaluable book essential for the student.
