1 Brisbane Theatre Review (QPAC, Brisbane) Alison Cotes , 2015 single work review
— Appears in: Daily Review , 20 April 2015;
— Review of Brisbane Matthew Ryan , 2015 single work drama 'Surrounded as we are by an overkill of heroic or tragic war stories in this ANZAC centenary, it’s a relief to have a new play that looks at war from a different perspective, and for Queenslanders much closer to home.Danny Fisher, a Brisbane boy, is just entering puberty, and like all boys of his age is obsessed with the idea of war, and especially the Air Force.'
1 Coming up for Air Alison Cotes , 2014 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Women’s Book Review , vol. 26 no. 1/2 2014;
— Review of Dreams of Flight Jena Woodhouse , 2014 selected work short story 'DREAMS of flight. A flight towards or a flight from? Dreams of hope or of despair? This rich but immediately accessible collection of short stories leaves it up to the reader to decide the answers. But the metaphor of flight is more intricate than the simple idea of birds allows, although there are many of them in these stories with different fates. Another underlying image is that of water in all its aspects. From sea, to lake, to stream, water can trap us or give us freedom, especially when it’s combined with air, such as the experiences of the young photographer in the story “Stalking the Light,” “She is here, now, in the impressions of the moment, with the solitary canoeist whose craft draws a long chevron on the rose-tinted surface of the water below; with the cohort of ibis silhouetted against the forget-me-not blue unveiled by dispersing cloud above; with the kingfishers and herons and magpies who frequent the early-morning river bank: here, now in the strengthening light.”' (Author's introduction)
