1 The Marrow of Individual Experience and Disrupted Heritage : Malcolm St Hill Reviews ‘sing Out When You Want Me’ by Kerri Shying Malcolm St Hill , 2020 single work review
— Appears in: Rochford Street Review , September no. 29 2020;

— Review of Sing Out When You Want Me Kerri Shying , Karen Kun (translator), 2017 selected work poetry

'Kerri Shying is an Australian poet of Chinese and Wiradjuri heritage whose first collection, sing out when you want me, is one of the bilingual editions in the Pocket Poets Series by Flying Island Books. While physically small (it can literally fit in your pocket), the collection runs to 101 pages with 30 poems and matching Chinese translations by Karen Kun. These poems reflect the lived experience and as Shying said in an interview with Writing NSW, “it completely came out of my experience as a mixed-race woman and an insider/outsider in all kinds of ways.” The collection plays this out in city, rural and suburban settings and speaks powerfully of both private and public hurts.'

1 Frederic Manning and the Greatest War Novel of All Time Malcolm St Hill , 2018 single work column
— Appears in: Overland [Online] , November 2018;

'Australian writer Frederic Manning wrote what many considered to be the best narrative of the Great War. For Ernest Hemingway, The Middle Parts of Fortune was the ‘finest and noblest book of men in war’, period. It’s a bold and arresting claim that calls for a quick look, if not a deeper dive, into Manning’s enigmatic life and work. This is particularly pertinent in light of the centenary of the Armistice this month.' (Introduction)

1 “Summers’ Knack for Nailing an Image and Capturing Its Emotional Charge Is Sublime” : Malcolm St Hill Reviews ‘straya’ by Paul Summers Malcolm St Hill , 2018 single work essay
— Appears in: Rochford Street Review , October 2017 - March no. 24 2018;

'‘straya’, a bastardised version of ‘Australia’, is the title and the first and largest section of Paul Summers’ latest collection. While the term evokes Afferbeck Lauder’s ‘strine’, a droll representation of Australian language, there is little humour in Summers’ straya. The first poem in the collection, ‘obligato’, suggests an obligation on the reader to take notice. As this musical term indicates, that which follows should not be omitted.' (Introduction)

1 Hecq “gives Grief Its Voice, Resurrecting It from Silence” : Malcolm St Hill Reviews Dominique Hecq’s ‘Hush: A Fugue’ Malcolm St Hill , 2018 single work essay
— Appears in: Rochford Street Review , October 2017 - March no. 24 2018;

'Dominique Hecq’s Hush: A Fugue examines the death of a child from a mother’s perspective and the harrowing aftermath of such an inexplicable event. In this autobiographical work, Hecq finds language for a profound loss, one that almost defies articulation.' (Introduction)

1 The Inner and Outer Worlds of the Bereaved Malcolm St Hill , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Rochford Street Review , July-September no. 23 2017;

'Magdalena Ball’s Unmaking Atoms, her second full-length collection, is a prodigious and often heart-wrenching array of poems, speaking to themes of loss and grief. In the ninety-two, generally short pieces, Ball projects an astounding breadth of knowledge, particularly in science, and mines this in unique and skillful ways.' (Introduction)
