Hijacked over China with Jane Austen by W.H.Petty
ISBN 1 904338 38 0
There is something very appealing about the way Petty's impeccable credentials as a fully paid up member of the great and the good are consistently subverted by the often surreal playfulness of his poetry. The ludic qualities of his work are as much in evidence here as ever: 'Lusts of pink blossom insisted/from the tree-line in a last strike/against the galloping dark.' ('Trying the Voodoo')
