Dragons in Their Pleasant Palaces by Peter Porter
This collection, its title taken from Isaiah, continues in the same vein of prophecy as Peter Porter's last works, "Millennial Fables". This time, however, the poems are lighter in tone, sometimes quirkily humorous, and the detail of the poetry more down-to-earth. The countries he visits include his land of birth, Australia, and his beloved Italy.Peter Porter was born in Brisbane in 1929. He came to England in 1951 and, apart from short periods as writer-in- residence at English, Scottish, and American Universities, has lived in London ever since. His collections for Oxford poets includes The Automatic Oracle, The Chair of Babel, Collected
Poems, The Cost of Seriousness, Fast Forward, A Porter Selected and Possible Worlds.
