— Review of Moon Wrasse Willo Drummond , 2023 selected work poetry 'Moon Wrasse offers a poetic space in which human identity entangles inextricably with the species, assemblages and ecosystems of the natural world. The poems of this collection are vulnerable, personal and dialogic, formed intertextually with poets such as Louise Gluck, Denise Levertov and Rainer Maria Rilke, deepening their rich and complicated entanglements. Moon Wrasse presents a sophisticated, emotive and organic lyric incorporating elegy, ecopoetry and permeability.' (Introduction)

1 Ecofeminism, New Materialism and Lyric Subjectivity in Bonny Cassidy’s Final Theory and Megan Kaminski’s Gentlewomen Sophie Finlay , 2022 single work essay
— Appears in: Westerly , vol. 67 no. 1 2022; (p. 134-146) 'This essay considers how Final Theory (2014) by Australian poet Bonny Cassidy and Gentlewomen (2020) by American poet Megan Kaminski extend our understanding of lyric subjectivity and provide insights into the intersections between ecofeminism and new materialism. in bringing these two contemporary poets alongside one another, I hope to draw attention to trans-Pacific intersections in feminist ecopoetics. Cassidy and Kaminski may practise different poetics, but both encompass inclusive ways of being within the more-than-human world and both find ways to critique, extend or embrace lyricism, demonstrating lyric as a highly flexible medium.'
