Better Than God sees Porter working with a lyric engine tuned to
perfection, and a mind that shows every sign of speeding up: Porter
can make a song of what another writer might take an essay to
cover. Whether working in the forms of epigram or narrative, or
writing of memory, mortality, Renaissance intrigue or the surreal
distortions of old age - Porter's faith in poetry as a road to the
truth shines through. There are few other writers for whom
contemporary events throw such long shadows or for whom the past is
so present, and in Better Than God one has the sense of the poet
attaining an increasingly commanding height. Porter remains one of
the few poets we can open anywhere, and know that we will always be
both enlightened and entertained.
