The View from the Mooni"1. Your outrage deserts you when your choices expire & you become", Carolyn Gerrish , single work poetry (p. 159-160)
A. D Hope's 'The Death of the Bird' : Between Romantic Symbol and Modernist Anti-symbol, Henry Weinfield , single work criticism
In his close examination of Hope's elegy, Weinfield argues that the bird is not a Romantic symbol, or a Modernist anti-symbol, but rather a form of life that the poet is capable of understanding, because 'he understands that he himself is a form of life and that, therefore, nothing living is alien to him' (164). Although its artistic values might now be out of fashion, Weinfield finds the poem original and extraordinary because of the Hope's ability to evoke love and tenderness, 'not only as a theme but through his language and the movement of his quatrains' (170), and he predicts that the poem is 'going to remain with us for a long time - as long as English poetry is read' (171).
 (p. 161-171)
An Uncanny Reading of A. D. Hope's 'The Death of the Bird', John Kinsella , single work criticism
In this essay Kinsella reads Hope's poem 'within and against the uncanny' (186). Set against a Western Australian landscape and history, the poem is interpreted as being not only about the bird, but also about the fear of loss of home, movement, and a compulsion to persist.

Christopher Brennan's Reading, Wallace Kirsop , single work criticism

A 'brief and schematic view of the ways in which the exploration of book use has evolved must precede a characterisation of the various approaches adopted by the author of Poems (1913) in dealing with material in his own library or in others' collections' (229). Brennan's books are discussed as well as his annotations and marginalia with the argument that 'Brennan's margins are the necessary extension of his intellectual and literary work' (238) and therefore indispensable to all who study him seriously. Finally, Kirsop emphasises the necessity to compile a checklist of all the attested titles in Brennan's library, as well as an edition of his correspondence.
