1 'Conquering Time's Atrocities' : An Abundant Final Collection from Judith Rodriguez Jennifer Strauss , 2019 single work essay
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , March no. 409 2019; (p. 44-45)

'Judith Rodriguez, who died in November 2018, was a champion of other people’s causes: the right to be heard, the right to freedom from persecution, the right to refuge when such freedom is denied. She was also a champion of poetry and gave generously of her time and energy to fighting its corner. Generations of fledgling poets profited from her mentoring; generations of students were introduced to the pleasures of Parnassus through her intelligent promotion of fellow poets, notably in her time as poetry editor for Penguin Australia (1988–97).'  (Introduction)
