Excellent review by Julian Murphet of Keston Sutherland's Meditations, "the most extraordinary volume of English poetry in recent memory"
#NEWonSRB: In his review of British poet Keston Sutherland’s most recent book, Julian Murphet delves into the history of the meditation as a literary form as well as the significance of geese to the development of European literary culture. buff.ly/oXbwFEC

For @SydReviewBooks, I wrote about the value of creative, immersive modes of scholarship in an academy in crisis, the pleasures of epigraphs, my unironic love for Tom Cruise, and the ongoing afterlife of modernism in my review of Gail Jones's latest:

Louis Klee in the @SydReviewBooks on Clemens and Ford's Barron Field in New South Wales: The Poetics of Terra Nullius, a work of literary criticism that actually aims at something like criticism.

⭐️ I wrote about Kirby and my brother ⭐️ big thanks to @sprezzafuror for editing and helping me make sense of Dream Land 🙃🍮
#NEWonSRB: @misc_cutlet records the sibling intimacies fostered by the world-building of the Kirby video game franchise. Charting the vicissitudes of growing up and apart, the games serve as a reminder of all that she and her brother refuse to leave behind.sydneyreviewofbooks.com/essa…

Wrote this back in 2016 for @SydReviewBooks to counter the notion that no one reads NZ books outside of NZ. With the Penguin decision it seems relevant now. sydneyreviewofbooks.com/essa… #NZbooks #NZlit – at Timaru District, New Zealand

Every so often an author claims, or perhaps truly believes, that the translation of their work is superior to the original. Now, thanks to @alicewhitmore's magnificent essay on mycelial translation, I realize criticism, too, at times exceeds its subject. sydneyreviewofbooks.com/revi…

Hard to think of someone who has made a deeper contribution to migrant & diaspora literature. This was one of the last pieces Prof. Sneja Gunew produced before she passed early this year.
