AbstractHistoryArchive Description

“The work in Morning, Hyphen continues the fuzzy logic, the ready-or-not intelligence of his poetry that could appear impatient if it were not for the generosity of his language and of his sharing of their subject matter. He has a particular use of italics, line breaks within words, playces that could appear as misprints except you know he is too deliberate and precise. Peter Minter continues fabricating the body from experience, travelling the layers beneath the skin, poeming with syntax and meaning.- Angela Gardner' (Source: Peter Minter website)

Notes

  • Epigraph: For staying is nowhere / Rilke
  • Dedication: & for Kate Fagan (appears on last page)
  • Peter Minter has described Morning, Hyphen as: 'a series of new [untitled] poems which started being written when I was trying to get up at five in the morning and trying to write before going to work, which lasted for about six months. One of the formal properties is that there are three line stanzas of lyrical text alongside prose poems'. (Mead (ed.) Australian Literary Studies in the 21st Century, 2000)
  • A selection from the Morning, Hyphen series. The complete series was published in 2003 by Equipage.

Vagabond Press started with the Rare Object Series in July 1999, publishing two small chapbooks of poetry by David Brooks and Nick Riemer. More than a decade later the series is still going strong and has emerged as an iconic publishing venture in Australian poetry, bringing together the key emerging and established Australian poets at the turn into the twenty-first century, and being remarkable for the quality of the work published and the design and production values. Originally based on a combination of the design values of French press Fata Morgana and Neil Astley's beautiful Poetical Histories series, the Rare Objects are remarkable for the cover art produced by Kay Orchison, exquisitely conceived and designed in response to each poet's work. The chapbooks are printed in limited editions of 100 copies, signed and numbered by the author. ...' (Vagabond Press website) Number in series: 12
