In *The Incoming Tide*, Petra White presents a collection of poems marked by a playful intelligence. Through odes, elegies, lyric sequences, and near-sonnets, White crafts a strong verbal music, chiming consonants and syllables to create lines that invite utterance.
These poems explore themes of growing up and reflect on experiences such as a hippie journey and office work with both satire and affection. While hinting at autobiography, White's focus is broader, aiming to capture the essence of our time and place, and the surprising ways it opens to other worlds. This collection offers a journey through personal reflection and broader societal observations.
