1 Pleasure in the Gap : Kate Lilley‟s Cross-Pollinated Poetic and Academic Discourses John Sheehy , 2009 single work criticism
— Appears in: Sydney Studies in English , vol. 35 no. 2009;
'Kate Lilley's poetry is a chiasmus of academic and poetic discourse. This essay traces a number of enduring features of Lilley's verse: explicit references to writing and reading, a dissolved synthesis of form and content, and challenges to conventions of genre. These key features - characteristic of the American Language Writing tradition - position readers of Lilley's first anthology, Versary, in a number of (false) gaps. These are the fissures between the familiar and unfamiliar, the high and low brow, TV Week and a dictionary of rhetorical terminology.' (Author's abstract)
