review
— Review of On Murray's Run : Poems & Lyrics 2017 selected work poetry lyric/song ;(p. 80)'When writing about this collection of poems, I am aware of the long tradition of critical response from the inner sanctum of a poet's life.

review

Perhaps you have seen people-- a man in built-up shoes or a woman with a surfeit of silver bangles --heading for an old town hall after dark. The world of ballroom dancing and tango lessons has its own etiquette and hierarchies. Libby Sommer's new fiction, The Crystal Ballroom, lifts the lid on the delights and pitfalls of this fascination sub-culture.' (Introduction)
