1 Michelle Cahill, Letter to Pessoa and Other Short Fictions (Giramondo, 2016). Brian Macaskill , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Transnational Literature , May vol. 9 no. 2 2017;
'Having signed at least three well-received books of poetry into the world, Michelle Cahill, established poet, sometime essayist, medical practitioner, and founding editor of Mascara (whose journal mandate is to publish migrant, Indigenous, and Asian-Australian work), has released her first compilation of short fiction.

— Appears in: MediaTropes , vol. 4 no. 2 2014; (p. 114-143)
'This essay considers the title of J.M.

— Appears in: MediaTropes , vol. 4 no. 2 2014; (p. i-xiii)
In this preface, Maaskill states that he 'take the duty of this special edition—in which various hands work with Coetzee’s work—to be an obligation to respond as variously as possible to Coetzee’s generically-various and, to some extent, topographically-various productions, here subject to sounding.'
