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)

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.
