— Appears in: Rochford Street Review , vol. 38 no. 1 2023;
— Review of Witches, Women and Words Beatriz Copello , 2022 selected work poetry

'Unacquainted with Beatriz Copello’s work before (but eager now to catch up) I was drawn to this book because I’m both a poet and a witch. As well, I discovered in its pages, among other things, our shared love for wisteria, the poetry of Neruda and Australia’s ‘Up North’ landscape.' (Introduction)
