Winner 2006 CJ Dennis Prize for Poetry (Victorian Premier's Literary Awards)
"Urban Myths: 210 Poems" brings the best work to date from a poet considered one of the most original of his generation in Australia, together with a generous selection of new work. Smart, wry and very stylish, John Tranter s poems investigate the vagaries of perception and the ability of language to converge life, imagination and art so that we arrive, unexpectedly, at the deepest human mysteries.
JUDGES REPORT - Victorian Premier's Literary Awards
The new and uncollected poems in John Tranter s "Urban Myths" make a significant addition to his oeuvre. Control and ease are evident in the writing, which displays personages, occasions and moods of the metropolitan modern world. Tranter s latest poems refresh through the exercise of urbane skills: this is a poet suave and playful, but never aloof; linguistically various, assured in style, and never less than fully attentive.
