‘Kennedy's career as a poet has evolved in parallel with her success as a short-story writer and novelist and her accessible poems display the hallmarks of a poet increasingly well-practiced in her craft. There is much to admire here.’ ** (four stars)
– Bookseller and Publisher‘Pack[s] an emotional punch. Kennedy excels at drawing extraordinary details out of the seemingly mundane minutiae of everyday life, with a sharp, focused eye for the politics of the personal. Her depictions of rural life and the Australian landscape are particularly evocative. It's a welcome addition to the often-underrated canon of Australian poetry.’
– Herald Sun‘Cate Kennedy presents a long feast in The Taste of River Water. In describing the act of living ― as she does with such potency; mouth-watering ― she creates a new life.’
– InPress Magazine‘[Like] stepping into water from air that is almost the same temperature, hardly noticing one is at the will of the sea, suddenly ... [Kennedy] relies on getting the reader comfortable before providing something like this change in the atmosphere by the time the poem is out.’
– Luke Beesley, Readings Monthly‘Kennedy writes fine poetry ... marvellous.’
– The Age‘Kennedy is at her most effective when dropping spartan images into her lines like stones into a lake. Several pages later the ripples are still moving.’
– Kate Fagan, The Australian"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
