review
— Review of Collected Poems 1990 selected work poetry ;(p. 7-8)'Judith Rodriguez deserves a guernsey for this book. It's one of the best collection to appear in a long while. l think its more interesting than its companions in the UQP Selected/Collected series that is now three-all with Shapcott. Taylor, and Rodriguez standing as our Living Treasures, and Dransfield, Buckmaster, and Rankin among those freed from earthly care. Two chaps and one lady in each category, one observes. There must be logic in it? Poets don't actually have to die before they get notices. But in the case of Buckmaster and Rankin it will push the reputation up a few notches. I know that's callous, but you want the truth, don't you?' (Introduction)
