Cheer Up and Take It Lightly Cheer Up, Michael Sharkey , single work review
— Review of The Oxford Book of Australian Light Verse 1991 anthology poetry ;
'This book sets me between a rock and a hard place. Any consideration of sob Brissenden invites grateful acknowledgment of his gifts to reader and listeners over many years. This selection of poems for this volume was complete when illness when Illness woumd up his affairs. Regrettably. the selection is still far from complete. A really comprehensive anthology of light verse has been long overdue.  So has an expansive essay on the very nature of the beauty and anything Brissenden had to say about it would have been generous and distinguished by his authority as a writer of light verse.'
