Description
Whether wandering in mythic fields or flying too close to the abyss, the creatures of Patrick White’s world are unbearably tender and lucid shapeshifters, carriers of light. Patrick White returns fire to the gods and takes you with him on the journey. He deftly reinvents the metaphor restoring poetry to its rightful place in a world gone dry.
