Dmetri Kakmi, in his review of this book (Australian Poetry Journal, April 2015) writes: “Wise and shrewd, these are mature, contemplative works. There is a discernment and level of engagement with form and subject that immediately captivates ... it is a quiet, pensive book; and while it reflects on universal questions, it also speaks to individuals caught between cultures and states of mind. This element brings a welcome tension. Costi does not take the easy way, pushing boundaries and challenging preconceptions about womanhood and ethnicity, even as she yields to nostalgia.”

"This chapbook takes its starting-point from a poem by the leading Greek poet, Yannis Ritsos (1909-1990). Ritsos' poem sets the tone by evoking the power of that seemingly insignificant because ever-present part of speech: the conjunction ‘or'. The force, even audacity, of this two-lettered word is to suggest alternatives when none appear visible, to provoke doubt, to create ambiguity when presented with stark contrasts, to make space for what Ritsos in his poem refers to as "mystery", "multiplicity..." This is the goal Trakakis sets for himself in this work. Philosopher and poet George Vassilacopoulos has written an Introduction to this book."

After some dirty dancing with breast cancer and a 2-year hiatus from writing completely, Petr finally articulated the experience in an intense feature at West Word in 2017. Unspeakable is Malapanis' first solo offering.
"In Unspeakable, her astonishing suite of poems, the devastating and necessary eruptions of language are linked to the violence that is done to our bodies. The violence of disease. The violence of sexual abuse. The violence of racism. All these violences are cruel and savage. And yet, and yet, Malapanis has created something beautiful from all this damage… These poems speak to the bravery of Malapanis, and also to her success. They speak: eloquently, savagely and beautifully. They dance, they sing." - Christos Tsiolkas

'Birds have featured regularly in Peter Lyssiotis’ work – The Bird, The Belltower; Birds from Byzantium and now, Ah, Those Thieving Birds! Lyssiotis uses the prose poem, which reached its heights in France between the Wars, because it allows him to move slyly between both the real and the surreal. Although the poems are set in a familiar domestic setting, the inevitable unexpected insight or the slightest twist of the narrative give the work wings with which to fly beyond the everyday. Toula Nicolacopoulos has written the Introduction to this chapbook.' (Publication summary)
