2013
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Antigone Kefala : A Writer's Journey 2013; (p. 254-271)'The central principle of Kefala's poetics is that of ellipsis: its structuration is based on the intentional omission of any verbal element that could refract or obscure the intensity of the experience implied by her words.'

'We, the Only Witness of Ourselves' : Re-Reading Antigone Kefala's Work
2013
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Antigone Kefala : A Writer's Journey 2013; (p. 210-220)Sneja Gunew argues that Kefala's work has been marginalised by Australian literary criticism. 'The voice that manifest itself 40 years ago was categorized too quickly as "alien", a designation that has haunted Kefala's work thereafter. It is time to relocate her as a cultural pioneer who gave voice for over fifty years to those postwar immigrants who form an integral part of the fabric of Australian culture but whose contributions still require more systematic analysis and mapping, including a mapping in languages other than English.'
