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.

Great purchase!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This book was a gift to my grandmother for mothers day and it came in great quality! Although I have not read the contents of the book, it was not bent when delivered (like previous books Ive purchased) and it is good quality! The paperback texture is not smooth and it has some texture but it still feels good quality. As I flipped through it I noticed the scripture index which I was very happy by!! 10/10 and if you read it leave another review based on the contents of the book!!

Literally life changing
Format: Paperback
This is one of the best books I have ever read. I have just been through a difficult season of waiting and was not handling it well. I was doubting God in a way I haven't since I was in high school and descending into spiritual chaos. My friend read this book, and I saw it on her Goodreads and asked her about it. I read it this spring and it has fundamentally changed the way I see the world. It has given me an abiding trust in God. I will come back to this frequently in my life. It isn't about a particular kind of waiting (waiting for a spouse, for instance) but about the concept of waiting in general, so it is applicable to all seasons of life. I recommend it to all my friends in person, and even though I don't frequently write reviews, I cannot recommend this book highly enough, so I thought I'd share my thoughts. It also has reflection questions, so it could be great for a book study, as well as just for personal devotions. It has changed my heart and therefore my life and I am so grateful for God sending me this book. It's also a quality product, with nice paper and cover. All around amazing.

Must have book😊
Format: Paperback
Every clinician should have this book on their shelf and close at hand. If you write a lot of reports and case notes, this book is extremely helpful. It assists you with choosing the best statements to use in your reports. Can't say enough great things about this handbook. It's all you need, and I have been buying this book for years, since the first edition! Great to give as a gift to beginning clinicians. Not only for psych reports but useful for all clinical reports
