Rosie Batty : The Private Toll of Public Grief, Martin McKenzie-Murray , single work column
'This week, Luke Batty would have turned 17. For his mother the years since his death have been marked by public esteem and an intense personal hell. '  (Article summary)
Things about Dying, Maxine Beneba Clarke , single work poetry
Alex Landragin : Crossings, Chris Flynn , single work review

'Metempsychosis, or the transmigration of the soul, usually happens after death, when the consciousness and memories of an individual are transported into the body of another. If you believe that sort of thing. It is also a handy, if well-trodden, literary device, used to influential effect in David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas.' (Introduction)

Fiona McGregor : A Novel Idea, Justine Hyde , single work review

'In her work as a performance artist, Fiona McGregor is no stranger to physical and psychological endurance, often sitting uncomfortably still for hours on end. However, it is the more challenging act of endurance – writing a novel – that she documents in this photo essay, A Novel Idea. In the epilogue, McGregor laments that novel writing “is mystified, romanticised or, conversely, trivialised”. She says, “Let this document then show how banal, gruelling and lonely it really is.” And so she does.' (Introduction)

Tony Birch : The White Girl, Khalid Warsame , single work review

'In critical appraisals of Tony Birch’s fiction, certain adjectives appear again and again. Of the prose: “spare”, “concise”, “uncluttered”; the characters “vivid” and rendered with “compassion”. Perhaps it is true that good novels, like Tolstoy’s happy families, are all alike, yet it could just as easily be true that critics, by and large, tend to repeat themselves. Or perhaps, as I suspect, there’s an element to Birch’s writing that makes him both readable and difficult to define.'  (Introduction)
