When Peter Porter died in 2010, his reputation as one of the greatest Australian poets was already established. Chorale at the Crossing gathers the work Porter completed after the release of his highly acclaimed last collection Better than God and showcases a remarkable and expansive mind—seemingly equipped with half the contents of Western culture—still working at full intensity, despite the nearness of his death. Chorale at the Crossing contains love poems, comic excursions, as well as reflections on art, death, music, and nature, all written with Porter's apparent technical prowess and his immeasurable good humor. Chorale at the Crossing is the last word from one of our wisest and most compassionate poets—and it is, quite simply, essential reading.
