1 “With Nothing Ever to Break Its Fall” Gemma Parker , 2024 single work review
— Appears in: TEXT : The Journal of the Australian Association of Writing Programs , 31 October vol. 28 no. 2 2024;
— Review of The Book of Falling David McCooey , 2023 selected work poetry 'Picking up The Book of Falling is to begin falling; the image on the front cover is inverted, pitching us into giddiness, a sense of suspension mid-fall, the vertigo of not-quite-rightness combined with an untethered, floating curiosity. We are immediately detached from our upright and erect worldview. A disoriented wonder sends us headlong from floor to roof into the text below the image, white print on a background of contrasting blue-green, ‘David McCooey’, it says, ‘The Book of Falling’, and we nod yes, yes, that’s what this is: falling. We turn the page, and continue to fall.' (Introduction)
