Baffling Gravity

Gravity as a physical influence, the weight of gravity, and gravity of thought and action are central to Andrew Sant's new collection of poems - and so too is the means of baffling gravity, not the least by the deployment of wit. Gravity here is also baffling in the alternative sense, as a force or as a theory, which summons perplexity. These poems, wide-ranging in time and place, are richly textured investigations of the world, its terrain and its people, by an alert, often restless, informed observer. From reviews of Andrew Sant's previous collection The Bicycle Thief & Other Poems: ...entertaining and effectively idiosyncratic. - Sydney Morning Herald One of Sant's great gifts is his ability to wed naturalness with thematic abstraction... This is poetry for lending, sharing, travelling - this collection wants to move. - Cordite ...a refined and most enjoyable collection. - Westerly Andrew Sant's new collection is seriously good... In a book crammed with excellent poems it's difficult to point to any without feeling others deserve equal attention. - Critical Survey
