"Glass Poems is an expansive movement and the persona of the poet is liberally dispersed throughout, rather than directly attained through the writing. While this involves a long search for the reader, it is also what makes this kind of work complex and interesting. The poet narrator seems to be both guide and guided into uncertain existence, that hold a vague philosophical undertone, so that a reader might ask – for how long was I gone?"
- Dr Coral Hull <><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"It’s as if the characters function as a kind of strophe and antistrophe -- the male voices pressing on with the war and the females analysing, wondering, and in their own way, pulling back even as they participate. The tension between these dispersed voices drives the narrative forward and helps give the story a drama which goes beyond the action on the battlefield."
- Maggie Ball reviewing The Great Big Show for Blog Critics Magazine

It’s about the same size as The Iliad too, traversing East Africa, Capetown, Sydney, London, and France in what seems like a massive undertaking, with minimalist literary tools. The characters are equally big." Maggie Ball BC Magazine.
