White-out: selected published poems 1986-2016 brings together 194 of Tasmanian poet Saxby Pridmore's published poems to commemorate his achievement and contribution to Australian poetry: more than 300 poems published in over 40 different literary magazines and journals, including Quadrant, Studio, Famous Reporter and Island. These poems consider everything human... They're deft, poised, and compassionate. Many will stay in mindand invite revisiting... Michael Sharkey, Editor, Australian Poetry Journal White-out combines serious writing, and serious thinking, and a mischievous sense of fun. ... Each a self-contained unit, the poems combine to create a portrait of a life busily observing, reflecting, writing. Each in turn feeds into a richer narrative of being in and of the world, and of selfhood defined always relationally. Professor Tony Simoes da Silva, University of Tasmania, from the foreword White-out explores the diversity of the personal and close at hand alongside coolly-observed, critical social commentary on the ills of the world. ... [Pridmore's writing is] perceptive, reflective, generous. Ralph Wessman, former editor and publisher of Famous Reporter By turns whimsical and as penetrating as a surgeon's knife. From deeply personal to philosophically abstract, a powerful range of images and ideas. Emeritus Professor James Cotton, UNSW Canberra Saxby's poem 'Kursk' inspired me to write, perform and record a piece of music by the same name. His beautiful poetry continues to inspire musical responses from me. Michael Kieran Harvey, composer and concert pianist Saxby Pridmore captures the feelings of any one of us ... this collection is a surprise to enjoy. Anne Henderson, author, biographer and deputy director of the Sydney Institute
