— Appears in: TEXT : The Journal of the Australian Association of Writing Programs , October vol. 23 no. 2 2019;

— Review of Third Body Marion Campbell , 2018 selected work poetry
'Marion May Campbell and Jane Joritz-Nakagawa have more in common than one might think. Both are poet-thinkers who blur the lines between private and public spheres, explore thought as much as feeling, engage with ecosystems, evoke a third body of words through citation or address, and produce an exhilarating sense of ambiguity and uncertainty in their poetry. Both Campbell’s Third body and Joritz-Nakagawa’s Poems: New & Selected display stylistic range, plurivocality and shape-shifting personae.' (From introduction)

— Review of Third Body Marion Campbell , 2018 selected work poetry

'In third body, Marion May Campbell interrogates the porous boundaries between the self and the other, as well as the incongruous inconsistencies between the self and the self. Thus, in “incipient foredune” (71-89), “our devastating need / to kill the other in each other” is seen to be “murder of all desire” (83). As lovers, we so often want everything in the beloved that we are not, and yet we so often seek only to see ourselves in the other. The bonds that bind us together may become restrictive. In the opening poem, “passing” (3-12), the speaker asks: “what kind of history / & what kind of witness / is possible / when Inever coincides with me” (5)? If Iis the acting first person subject, then meis the first person object acted on: it is the difference between perpetrator and victim, saviour and saved, or leader and follower. Campbell negotiates such binaries with finesse, showing an astounding gift for figurative language.' (Introduction)
