1 ‘Bombala Boss’ : Harry Reid in Conversation with Michael Farrell Harry Reid (interviewer), 2024 single work interview
— Appears in: Cordite Poetry Review , 1 February no. 111 2024;

'How on earth to interview Michael Farrell? I once introduced Farrell at a reading as one of my ‘top five dead or alive’ Australian poets. I still believe this to be true. I once watched him eat a falafel during the open mic section of a poetry reading in Sydney. Once, while driving the work van, I saw Farrell on the way to the pool and honked the horn, realising later he’d have no idea it was me. What does this all mean? Farrell’s latest book is Googlecholia (2022) and the one before that was Family Trees (2020). These are the ones we talk about. They are both very, very good. Farrell’s work is expansive. It’s funny and sweet and tough and tender.' (Introduction)

1 2 y separately published work icon Leave Me Alone Harry Reid , Melbourne : Cordite Press , 2022 24843214 2022 selected work poetry 'In this debut full-length collection, Harry Reid takes us through the doors of the office to tour its funny, absurd, and at times terrifying, discontents. With sharp eyes and sharp teeth, Reid appropriates and dissembles corporate spaces and corporate language to create a biting portrait, and a subversive poetics, of work and labour in the twenty-first century.'
