Praise for Lithosphere

sonically seductive…[t]hese are enigmatic and uncanny poems…
          Andy Jackson, The Saturday Paper

These are poems that are hard and sparkling and perfect, splendid in their fixity.
          Zowie Douglas-Kinghorn, Mascara Literary Review

each of the poems has, at its heart, a distinct conception, distinctive enough to enable the poem to support itself rather than be merely an appendage to the natural world.

         Martin Duwell, Australian Poetry Review

Praise for What Fear Was

arresting experiments in storytelling…lyrical exercises in the oneiric.
                                          Maria Takolander, The Saturday Paper.

What Fear Was is chockers with outstanding sentences that can be excerpted and examined as strings of jewellery… it makes thrilling rhythmic sense…. It’s writing that crackles and pops and hisses, and ultimately is sure to catch, illuminate, warm
                                         Michael Winkler,  Overland.

Australian fabulism is alive and well… Walter’s inventions have the reality and coherence of the most successful fantasy.
            Owen Richardson, The Age/Sydney Morning Herald

Like a fast-flowing river, Walter’s sentences are both dense and fluid, capable of lifting you off your feet and carrying you far from where you began….
                                        Brooke Dunnell, ArtsHub.

Unafraid of ventures into uncertain landscape and innovative form, Walter’s is an impressive, sure-footed début.
                                          Anthony Lynch, Australian Book Review.

A scintillating collection of short fiction…
                                          Zowie Douglas-Kinghorn, Meanjin.

Walter’s collection reverently treats Australia’s geography – in particular, Tasmania’s rugged scenery – as precious, misunderstood, and threatened….I felt at times as if I was encountering an alien dialect, having the uncanny experience of an author defamiliarising an object with which I was not in the first place familiar
                            Dan Dixon,  The Sydney Review of Books.
