1 Gareth Morgan Reviews Cities by Petra White Gareth Morgan , 2022 single work review
— Appears in: Cordite Poetry Review , 1 June no. 105 2022;
— Review of Cities Petra White , 2021 selected work poetry

'Petra White’s poetry has been highly and widely praised, celebrated for its seriousness, its engagement with poets like Petrarch, Dante, Coleridge and Donne, its ability to ‘recall’ these famous European names and their famous poems. She is presented as a serious poet, and has managed to get her ‘kind of Collected-poems-so-far’ (Duwell) onto the VCE Literature text list. I wonder what this says about poetry in Australia. Her poems are so good on one metric (studious, ‘clever’, instructive), and so bad, downright naughty, on another (stylistic and/or political ‘radicalness’).' (Introduction)
1 Shitheads : Well, Are We Doing This Gareth Morgan , 2022 single work essay
— Appears in: Overland , Summer no. 245 2022; (p. 43-50) 'Lucy Van's book of poetry The Open, published by Cordite and recently long-listed for the Stella Prize, is made up of mostly prose poems. The sentences that make up Van's prose are very fun and full of life. Merlinda Bobis in her Introduction puts it well: 'We've just touched what's here, or are about to touch it, when apprehension is quickly unsettled, halted or reconfigured.' This is true from sentence to sentence, the way they are stacked. This is also true for the life of an individual sentence. There is always the possibility of things being reconfigured, unsettled, or pulled to a halt. The sentences are the best thing about The Open which is to say everything is the best thing.'
