'Throughout the book, the poems manage that delicate and tricky balance between being moving and meaningful, wry, humorous and esoteric while still remaining grounded in the everyday.

How To Order Eggs Sunny Side Up is a brave and sophisticated debut and it’s easy to see why the book was shortlisted for the Dorothy Hewett Award.'

Magdalena Ball reviews, How to Order Eggs Sunny Side Up for Compulsive Reader

'This first book attracted many well-deserved opportunities for development and workshopping, which pays off in a debut that is bound to become an Australian classic.'

Elizabeth Walton reviews, How to Order Eggs Sunny side Up for Arts Hub

'These are poems with a sharp outline. They...are clever poems written for the curious and intelligent reader.'

Jane Frank reviews, How to Order Eggs Sunny Side Up for Stylus Lit

'A major theme of Collyer’s work is the female body. Her collection includes wry poems about female physical beauty that come from a posture of acknowledged complicity with social expectations.'

Read reviews of Women of a Certain Courage

'In particular, Lisa Collyer’s ‘Prolonged Exposure’ stood out to me for its experimentation with form and fragmented storytelling, which results in a unique and emotionally raw exploration of what it means to be courageous.' Nilab Siddiqi reviews, Women of a Certain Courage
