Harnessing the Internet : Dan Hogan’s Début Collection
2023
single work
review
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , December no. 460 2023; (p. 50)
— Review of Secret Third Thing 2023 selected work poetry''Anything and everything, all of the time.’ This is the refrain to comedian Bo Burnham’s hilarious and subtly disturbing song ‘Welcome to the Internet’, which both precedes and succeeds endless lists of absurd metadata. The idea is that, naturally enough, we have entered an age that simply has no way to escape the internet. Everything is available to us instantly. And with that, since we no longer live within the binary of either being on or offline, life has become increasingly inextricable from what’s happening ‘over there’.' (Introduction)

single work
review
— Appears in: Cordite Poetry Review , no. 109 2023;
— Review of Secret Third Thing 2023 selected work poetry'What characterises Dan Hogan’s poetry is the way that, each time we come close to fully apprehending the impending collapse of capitalism, we are waylaid by something more urgent and mundane: groceries, emails, calls to Centrelink, traffic jams on the way home from work. When the present is frantic, frenetic and demands our full attention, it becomes the only thing that is real. The tragedy with which we live, in Hogan’s words, is that we resultantly have ‘no time to grieve for lost futures’.'(Introduction)
