Poems from Mt Moono was published in South Africa three years after Kellas had moved to Australia.
The South African poet Robert Berold reviewed the book in New Contrast in 1990 (pp.87-89)
“Courage comes across as the true subject of her writing … (Her poems) help us to identify the violence which permeates our lives in so many subtle and unsubtle forms. They show us strategies for survival.”
An Australian review from Kevin Brophy appeared in Going Down Swinging n.10/11, 1990 (pp.245-247).
