'After Black Inc.’s long-running Best Australian Poems series was discontinued in 2018, a ‘gap’ was left in the ‘market’. The publisher Australian Poetry stepped in, publishing the first Best of Australian Poems in early 2021, edited by Ellen van Neerven and Toby Fitch. The second volume followed in early 2022, edited by Jeanine Leane and Judith Beveridge.' (Introduction)

1 Gareth Morgan Reviews Cities by Petra White Gareth Morgan , 2022 single work review
— Appears in: Cordite Poetry Review , 1 June no. 105 2022;

— Review of Cities Petra White , 2021 selected work poetry

'Petra White’s poetry has been highly and widely praised, celebrated for its seriousness, its engagement with poets like Petrarch, Dante, Coleridge and Donne, its ability to ‘recall’ these famous European names and their famous poems. She is presented as a serious poet, and has managed to get her ‘kind of Collected-poems-so-far’ (Duwell) onto the VCE Literature text list. I wonder what this says about poetry in Australia. Her poems are so good on one metric (studious, ‘clever’, instructive), and so bad, downright naughty, on another (stylistic and/or political ‘radicalness’).' (Introduction)
