American Dirti"The once-white lady dipped her hands", Omar Sakr , single work poetry
(Review) The Feather in the Web, Alison Croggon , single work review
— Review of The Feather in the Web Nick Coyle , 2018 single work drama ;

'Though it never quite coheres, The Feather in the Web takes some sharp digs at contemporary society and is bolstered by an excellent cast. By Alison Croggon.' 

Evie Wyld : The Bass Rock, Fiona Wright , single work review
— Review of The Bass Rock Evie Wyld , 2020 single work novel ;

'The Bass Rock opens with a memory, or a dream, where six-year-old Vivianne, whose adult self is one of the narrators of the novel proper, discovers a woman’s body in a suitcase, washed up on the beach near her grandmother’s house. The memory is important, not only because it is a formative experience for Vivianne and one that haunts her adult life, but also because it sets up The Bass Rock’s central concern: this is a novel about the centuries-long history of violence committed against women, and the legacies this might leave.' (Introduction)

Emily Clements : The Lotus Eaters, Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen , single work review
— Review of The Lotus Eaters : A Memoir Emily Clements , 2020 single work autobiography ;

'Named for the Greek myth about a race of people who indulge in hedonism rather than dealing with the realities of life, Emily Clements’ memoir follows two time lines: the author throughout adolescence, and the author, aged 19, living in Vietnam, having just fled from her toxic best friend. The earlier memories show a girl desperate for social approval, self-conscious about body image and hungry for male attention – even when it’s interlaced with danger or disquiet. The impact of Clements’ experiences as a girl mirror her life in Vietnam where, after years of conditioning, she sees her body as a powerful tool that can easily betray her – and finds herself in a terrifying situation that is the catalyst for an empowering personal shift.' (Introduction)

Wayne : Marshall Shirl, Justine Hyde , single work review
— Review of Shirl Wayne Marshall , 2020 selected work short story ;

'Wayne Marshall’s debut collection of short stories is a book that can be wholly judged by its cover. On it, a burly bloke embraces a kangaroo who wears a Carlton footy vest – a queer romantic scene that is backlit by the gentle glow of a telly. Marshall’s schtick is injecting Australian tropes with fabulist twists: everything is not what it first seems.' (Introduction)
