Bøker av Martin Jon Porter

Cul-de-sacs. Parks. Footpaths. Busy roads. Creeks. Car parks. Streetscapes...Where No Home Like a Raft explored wanderlust and faraway places, Streetscapes examines Martin Jon Porter's re-assimilation into suburban Melbourne. And the streetscape GPS isn't what it used to be. Sketched with purposeful minimalism, these poems invite us to consider the bare lines of landscape and social activity that define our world. Streetscapes allows us an access to the lives of others in an illuminating view of the city and the people within.

what happens to timewhen you're 1100 metres above Earth half way across the Pacific Ocean about to cross from daylight to dark... No Home Like a Raft explores the nomadic part of the human existence, and how imprisoned instincts can find a way to flow again. Landing in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and crescendoing at the Inca Trail in Peru, Martin Jon Porter's first full-length collection of poetry reveals what it's like to breathe the primordial particles of wanderlust in Latin America. Martin Jon Porter grew up in Ballarat and studied teaching in Adelaide, but now lives in Melbourne with his family. His first collection of poetry, Traits, was a chapbook published in 2016. His poems have been published in Canada, USA, UK, Australia and online.
