1 Bloom's Kinsella: The Politics of Selection in Peripheral Light Brian Henry , 2005 single work criticism
— Appears in: Jacket , April no. 27 2005;

The author argues that the selection of poems in John Kinsella's Peripheral Light: Selected and New Poems (W.W. Norton, 2003) by the American critic Harold Bloom has not been successful '... it introduces the work of an essential Australian poet to American readers, but does not present precisely what is essential about that poet.'

1 John Tranter's New Form(alism): The Terminal Brian Henry , 2004 single work criticism
— Appears in: Antipodes , June vol. 18 no. 1 2004; (p. 36-43)

Henry discusses Tranter's poetic form, the 'terminal' where the line endings of previously published poems are used to construct new poems. Tranter has used the poetry of John Keats, Banjo Paterson, Matthew Arnold and W. H. Auden in writing his terminals.

Henry concludes that 'Tranter's terminals are unique because they combine the conservative, influence-embracing aspect of traditional forms with the innovative aims of new forms ... Although it is too soon to know if the terminal will become an influential form, Tranter has laid a robust foundation for other poets seeking the challenges and pleasures of form, the pull of tradition, and the openness of experimentation.'
