1 y separately published work icon Australian Poetry Journal Ambition, Disobedience vol. 11 no. 2 Bella Li (editor), Corey Wakeling (editor), 2021-2022 24099865 2021 periodical issue poetry 'Poetry remains a field of singularities. The contributions to this issue of APJ, fittingly, refuse to cohere. Among visions of swans and sundowning, gunny sacks and knitting patterns—a scattered constellation of the familiar and unknown—are individual acts of ambition and disobedience, each realised on their own terms. What is more difficult to discern is the common ground that also constitutes this field.' (Bella Li Corey Wakeling : Foreword introduction)

1 Surviving Zombie Capital Corey Wakeling , 2018 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of the European Association for Studies on Australia , vol. 9 no. 1 2018;

'Contemporary Australian poet Gig Ryan’s early work explores lyric romance between zombie-like subjects and survivors. Bringing the zombie into contact with the lyric, this work raises questions about how the subject feels their transition into posthuman states of being in Anthropocene neoliberalism. Often neglected from discussions of zombie capitalism, poetry written in the 1970s and 1980s presents anxieties that existed for the first generation of youth culture in neoliberalist late capitalism. Ryan’s punk, anti-ballad confrontations with the Orphic lyric such as the well-known poem “If I Had a Gun” indict its alignment with a broader metaphysics of dead bodies lyricised in romantic code. As a result, by her mid-career period, Ryan has developed a Eurydicean counter-lyric in which the lyric speaker assails the violence of patriarchal romance, and the masculine-feminine divisions that sustain it, through post-punk negativity.'
