1 Never Be Alone Again : Hip-Hop Sampling as a Technique in Contemporary Australian Poetry Liam Ferney , 2020 single work essay
— Appears in: Cordite Poetry Review , May no. 96 2020; 'Middle-aged 90s hip-hop fans like myself are clichéd enough to be parodied by The Betoota Advocate but if you’re not familiar with any of the songs, or the source material, I’ve put together a little Spotify playlist for you to check out as you read. No De La Soul though. Their masterpiece, 3 Feet High and Rising, isn’t on streaming services. While most of the 70 plus samples on the album were cleared, it was only for physical media, and, according to the band, their label Warner Brothers is completely disinterested in doing the work that would get the album online.'

1 2 y separately published work icon Hot Take Liam Ferney , Melbourne : Hunter Publishers , 2018 15939955 2018 selected work poetry

'Something is terribly wrong. The news lurches between horror show and parody. Aeroplanes disappear from radar screens. The Holocene obliterates itself.

'Hot Take confronts opinion culture in the attention economy, love in the age of Tinder, politics in the age of Brexit and Trump. It will stay with you long after the think pieces are forgotten.'  (Publication abstract)
