Works about this Work

Poetic Choreography : A Further Selected Poems from Robert Gray Judith Beveridge , 2022 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , September no. 446 2022; (p. 46-47)

— Review of Rain Towards Morning : Selected Poems Robert Gray , 2022 selected work poetry

'According to his author’s note, Rain Towards Morning is ‘a definitive book’ of the poems Robert Gray wishes to preserve. Nameless Earth (Carcanet, 2006) is the most generously represented of Gray’s previous eight books. This is followed by his mid-career volume Piano (1988) in which he first began to publish a range of poetry with tight rhyme schemes and controlled rhythms. More than a third of the poems Gray has chosen for Rain Towards Morning are these formal or semi-formal compositions, indicating that he wishes to showcase this aspect of his work. Fewer poems have been chosen from his free verse books Grass Script (1978), The Skylight (1983) and Afterimages (2002), arguably his best books.'(Introduction)
