— Review of Critical State B. R. Dionysius , 2022 selected work poetry

'The poetry of B. R. Dionysius in Critical State holds continuity and rupture in tension as he explores the encroachments of the Anthropocene on distinctive Queensland regional environments. Focused around the poet’s nature observing adventures, the book is divided into five sections which reflect the diverse habitats of the state. These poems capture the beauty and terrible loss of wild creatures and places, and joyful glimpses of survival and recovery.' (Introduction)

'Critical State is Brett Dionysius’ ninth full poetry collection, and encapsulates work spanning the past decade in order to celebrate the extraordinary diversity of species in his home state of Queensland but also warn of the biodiversity loss resulting from human action that ‘raises awareness about the increasing effects of the Anthropocene.’ The title Critical State has a menacing double entendre.' (Introduction)
