Description:


This volume opens with a full-length book of new poems by Petra White, A Hunger. Bound-in with it are her two prior books, The Simplified World and The Incoming Tide. The new poems of A Hunger are as lucid as they are mysterious, crafted for the ear, and for an emotional tone that slips delicately between mischievous irony and a cut-through bleakness or joy.

A strong theme, in parts, is depression, where White presses beyond personal response into examining darkness itself, in a fierce art that deliberately gives and asks for no indulgence. The same goes for her love poems, in a sequence that plunges into the wild contradictions and poignancy of new love, with glances to Renaissance poets.

Contemporary worlds — people and place — are foundation for this poetry, which is haunted by inscrutable time. Her well-known 'Southbank' from her first book is given a further turn in a new sequence, 'The Sound of Work'— this is one of the few contemporary poets to write convincingly of office work. In all, White's poems inhabit life's fragility with a light-footed constancy.

sleeves long
I'm 5'6" and stocky but the sleeves are too long and slip over to rest half way down my hand. If your 5'9 or taller you will be fine.

Great Lightweight Pullover
Color: Faded Denim Heather, Size: X-Large
I'm 5’8” and about 240 lbs, and I went with an XL for this light grey quarter-zip pullover. Fit is spot-on, not too tight, not overly baggy. The material is lightweight and breathable but still feels like it has some substance, making it perfect for layering or wearing on its own in mild weather. The fabric has a nice stretch to it, which adds to the comfort and ease of movement, and it holds its shape well. The zipper is high quality, smooth to zip and feels durable. Color is true to the description, a clean, versatile light grey that pairs easily with joggers or jeans.

Great shirt, good quality.
Color: Light Blue Melange, Size: Large
This brand is solid, really good quality material and a great look and price. Maelreg continues to impress me, I've now purchased 6-8 of their shirts/hoodies and 2 pair of joggers. I really like them all.
