Petra White
Petra White is a young emerging (yet already very well-respected) Australian poet. Petra was born in Adelaide in 1975, the eldest of six children, and now lives in Melbourne, where she works, for the moment, as a public servant. Her first published collection of poetry, The Incoming Tide(John Leonard Press 2007), was shortlisted for the Queensland Premier's Literary Awards and the ACT Poetry Prize. Petra is considered a major up and coming poet, a voice for a new generation, and co-edits So Long Bulletin: http://solongbulletin.tumblr.com/.
