Leaping from One Sentence to the Next : Reviews ‘Endgame with No Ending’ by Dominique Hecq, Stu Hatton , single work review
— Review of Endgame with No End Dominique Hecq , 2023 selected work poetry ;

'According to the late Charles Simic, ‘The prose poem is the result of two contradictory impulses, prose and poetry, and therefore cannot exist, but it does’. Simic was perhaps gesturing towards a tradition of prose poetry where other contradictions also come to the fore: the kind of contradictions that arise, for example, when we try to tease apart or combine dream and reality, fiction and nonfiction, self and other, beauty and horror, reason and the irrational.'

A Series of Mirrors : Esther Ottaway Reviews ‘Who Comes Calling?’ by Miriam Wei Wei Lo, Esther Ottaway , single work review
— Review of Who Comes Calling? Miriam Wei Wei Lo , 2023 selected work poetry ;
'Who Comes Calling? is Miriam Wei Wei Lo’s second collection, described by Lo as “the work of thirty years” spanning “a prolonged child-rearing stretch when my poetry practice was the five minutes I had to spare between folding the laundry and falling asleep.” In the poem ‘Ars Poetica’, Lo reminds us that “Without the woman at the kitchen sink, / nothing is possible”, and exhorts us, “(For goodness sake, pick up a teatowel, start drying!)” Lo captures the twin pull of these competing roles – caring and artistic practice – in the lives of women, and the dispiriting voice of its economic rationalism, in the eponymous poem ‘Who Comes Calling?’'

A Strong and Engaging Movement : Andrew Taylor Reviews ‘Ghosts of Paradise’ by Stephen Edgar., Andrew Taylor , single work review
— Review of Ghosts of Paradise Stephen Edgar , 2023 selected work poetry ;

'Two sentences in Carlo Rovelli’s most recent book White Holes came to mind when reading Stephen Edgar’s new and highly impressive Ghosts of Paradise. The first is something that perhaps one wouldn’t expect from a theoretical physicist: ‘time is not a map of reality: it is a kind of memory storage device…’ And the second is something equally unexpected from someone who, like Rovelli, has published numerous books: ‘…the real purpose of language is not to communicate. It is to get close to things, to be in relation with them.’' (Introduction)

The Trajectory of a Life : Margaret Bradstock Reviews ‘But Now’ by Phyllis Perlstone, Margaret Bradstock , single work review
— Review of But Now Phyllis Perlstone , 2022 selected work poetry ;

'Phyllis Perlstone’s most recent poetry collection, But Now, celebrates the trajectory of a life. The preface alerts us to the scenario we are about to enter, from the time of the second world war, through the Great Depression, to a life-style in modern-day Barangaroo. Perlstone’s forte is meticulous description, metaphors built from the surrounding environment, each moment expanded to its limits.' (Introduction)
