'We are thrilled to have our poetry-loving paws all over the Sunline Press’ collection Cuttlefish: Western Australian Poets filled with over 80 poems by WA poets.
'“… a volume I hope will be read by an eclectic range of readers, offering a glimpse into contemporary poetry and its forms and concerns but also a reading experience guided by the very aesthetic of the book itself. It is a book to be read in a single sitting, or one or two poems savoured in a brief interlude found in the day. It is a small volume, a book that can be carried around, read on a train, a couch, a beach. It is not an anthology that needs to read formally at a desk, nor is it to be read and never picked up again. These are short poems that invite you to go back as many times as possible.” Roland Leach, editor.' (Publication summary)

Poems to Share : An Admirable Anthology from Western Australia

review
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , November no. 459 2023; (p. 42)
— Review of Cuttlefish : Western Australian Poets 2023 anthology poetry 'In Marion May Campbell’s poem ‘in the storeroom,’ which appears in Roland Leach’s anthology Cuttlefish, she writes that ‘poems are letters that go astray’ – a whimsical yet fitting definition of the kind of poetry that appears in this collection. In these digital times, there is something ceremonial about a letter: a personal communication which must be opened and held; possibly shared, intentionally or otherwise. The poems in this collection have a tight focus; each is confined to a single page. They are often personal, poems of memory and family, beginning with reminiscence and hinged with sharp insight. They may be poems about the natural world, thoughtful and observant like missives from a traveller.'(Introduction)
