— Review of Gone : Satirical Poems : New & Selected Stephen Oliver , 2016 selected work poetry

'My first encounter with Stephen Oliver was to see and hear him reading his poems at the Sandringham Hotel at the then-grungy lower end of King Street, Newtown in the late 1980s. It was a Saturday afternoon, on a stage usually occupied by bands, and he was in his element as he engaged with the punters, giving as good as he received from them. This was no "Poets in the Park" gig, no audience of "peers" politely responding to one of their own. He, along with Vicki Viidikas, was reading to what most of the then poets around town in Sydney may have disparagingly referred to as swine before which their pearls were not to be spread. They were both relishing the incongruous situation as they were reading their work to a hostile or at least an unappreciative audience.' (Introduction)
1 A Literary Alchemist : The Many Worlds of Michael Wilding (a Fragment from a Study of His Writings) Stephen Conlon , 2018 single work criticism
— Appears in: Antipodes , vol. 32 no. 1/2 2018; (p. 123-136) Looking backward over the vast expanses of literary and literal time and space in Michael Wilding's world, the hopes and fears he foreshadowed in his early work as a literary critic, academic teacher, creative writer, and publisher seem to have come true. His warnings (predictions, fears) may have been realized as the university, publishing, creative arts, political freedoms have all disappeared or crumbled. The world that has been emerging since the end of the wildly halcyon days of the 1960s freedoms has been eroded with the advent of a hyperworld filled with the state apparatus's technologies of surveillance and internal repression through self-induced fears and doubts.'
