Description
That Galloping Horse is Petra White's sixth collection, introducing her distinctive voice to UK readers. Written between 2017 and 2023 while living in Melbourne, London, and Berlin, this new collection includes 13 elegies that explore spiritual anguish through language and the physical world. White's characteristic playfulness is evident in short, mysterious lyrics that build layers of irony, alongside raw narratives that traverse the Nullarbor Highway and the atomic cloud of Maralinga. Themes include proximity to the Ukraine War, domestic life amidst planetary demise, and the strangeness of post-pandemic Berlin, as well as modern work, marriage, and familial love. This collection showcases White's complex style and thematic concerns, offering a nuanced exploration of the human experience.
