Adam Phillips is impressed at the broadening out of Australian poetry visible in Andrew Sant’s new collection:
Poetry
A high-speed read
Poet Andrew Sant's pacey new collection Speed & Other Liberties is fascinating, says Adam Phillips
Sunday June 15, 2008
The Observer
Speed & Other Liberties
by Andrew Sant
Salt £12.99, pp70
Liberties can be taken, and sometimes have to be. One of the liberties that poetry takes, and that prose can't, is temporarily to break up or interrupt a sentence with a line ending. Indeed, one of the reasons that speed-reading poetry can be so difficult, that makes poetry a cure for speed-reading, is that the line endings make us pause, whether we want to or not. One of the many fascinating things about the poems in the Australian Andrew Sant's absorbingly interesting new book is the way that the poems, and not just the title, make us wonder about this connection between poetry and speed.

Andrew Sant’s collection will be published in the UK on the 10th July.

Erin Belieu offers a simply knockout review of Don Share’s
Squandermania in the
Boston Review.
It is also heartening to encounter a poet who is willing to risk writing a book that not everyone will have the patience to explore. There is something ultimately winning about the book’s lack of easy salutation, as well as a lot of sly amusement and good will to be found in the purposefully kvetchy parts. Squandermania is a grownup book with grownup concerns, and it unapologetically expects more of its reader than a permanently disconnected pose. These are poems that invite us through their many dark requirements.
