Structures Don't Go Out Onto the Streets? Notes on John Tranter's Radical Pastiche, Louis Armand , single work essay
'My first real encounter with John Tranter's work. outside the miscellaneous poetry journals that somehow found their way into the local public library, came about unexpectedly enough through the efforts of John Millett, editor of the soon-to-be-defunct Pomp Australia. Millen, successor to Crate Perry. was liberal with the Poetry AuStrulia and South Head Press backlist and, along with books by Bruce Bearer, Noel Stock, Jennifer Maiden.

Reading Ecological Decline in Nineteenth-Century Bushfire Serials and Reporting, Fiannuala Morgan , single work essay
'In recent years, the scholarship of Bruce Pascoe (bolstered and supplemented by environmental historians such as Bill Gammage) has arguably shifted mainstream Australia's understanding of Indigenous culture from nomadic to agricultural, and the disaster of Black Summer has further moved settler Australia towards an appreciation of Indigenous cultural practices as an amelioration of ecological disaster and climate change (Pascoe 2018; Gammage and Pascoe 2021; Gammage 20U). At least part of the rhetorical power of this work is owed to its drawing directly on the settler archive that presents early historical accounts of land as 'verdant. open. pleasant and gentle', as 'gentleman's parks, thereby. demonstrating what pre-invasion land looked like under Indigenous custodianship. management, and care (Gammage and Pascoe 2021.25).'
