1 When the Park Comes Alive : Life Lessons on the Grass Christopher Warren , 2016 single work essay
— Appears in: Griffith Review , July no. 53 2016; (p. 257-267)

'There's a special moment in mid-February when the grass at our local park is so smooth, tended so carefully, that it’s almost like a skating rink. Well watered, well fed, well mown. The park has been empty most of the summer, but that day, when the park comes alive, you know winter is coming – such as winter is in Sydney – and winter means football. Not professional football with its million-dollar packages and broadcast rights. Not football as something you watch. Football as it’s meant to be. Football as something you do.'  (Publication abstract)
