She lived in a tent on the banks of the river with Teddy and her parents. Her best friends were the children of the Barkindji River People and she freely roamed the riverbank and bush with them. The Murray River, Gypsies, travelling circuses, rabbit plagues and droughts all brought her many, sometimes hilarious, adventures.' (Publication summary)
 
1 Playful Seriousness and Serious Play: Poetry as Creative Practice in the International Prose Poetry Project Cathy Hope , Paul Hetherington , Bethaney Turner , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: TEXT Special Issue Website Series , no. 40 2017; 'The International Poetry Studies Institute’s (IPSI) prose poetry project was started almost accidentally in late 2014. Since then it has become a site of highly productive creative play. At the time of writing, the prose poetry project consists of 21 members who have collectively written more than 1,500 prose poems. We will argue that it is an exemplary site for creative practice because it enables its members to generate new prose poetry enjoyably while asking very little of them except the production and sharing of their creative work. By identifying key elements of play that help stimulate creative practice in the prose poetry project—including the elements of sanctuary and ambiguity, and the interactions among these—we aim to demonstrate the significance of play for producing creative encounters with the world.'

1 Introduction Jen Crawford , Bethaney Turner , Cathy Hope , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Axon : Creative Explorations , April vol. 7 no. 1 2017; 'Play evades and escapes our attempts to define and delimit. It has variously been positioned as benign, crucial, intractable, frivolous, developmental, wasteful and subversive. While it may occur ‘between the cracks of ordinary life’ (Henricks 2006: 1) and be denoted by a ‘feeling of Otherwise’ (Shields 2015: 300), it is the very everydayness of playful engagement that captures our attention in this issue of Axon. As the papers and works brought together here attest, it is hard to imagine creativity without play. Play infiltrates and enlivens creative practice research. It allows us to think and to be otherwise in the academy.' (Introduction)
