OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF AUSTRALIAN WRITER A. G. PETTET

Pettet is represented by Australian Literary Management 

Australian poets have often seen experimentation alone as making them global, or as cosmopolitanism alone making them experimental, Pettet is aware that one has to be both, on more or less separate axes, and then braid those two tendencies into an articulated whole.
Pettet has not only done this but has crystallized these tendencies into an art that is concise, eloquent, and has the self-belief of a poetry that is not just lyricized discursivity but has a pulse of its own.

Pettet’s writing recalls us (as Christopher Brennan might put it) to the source of poetry, in deep feeling and an insistence that the precision of words makes us think in a distinctly poetic but nonetheless cerebral way.
