As said by Magdalena Ball in her review: "Beatriz Copello’s ''Under the Gums' Long Shade'' is a beautifully written, tender collection full of rich moments. It travels along a very national route, exploring the Australian terrain, and then moves outward to a place that encompasses all of humanity."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Book Review: Under the Gums' Long Shade by Beatriz Copello )〕 Copello has been invited to read her poetry in Argentina, Italy, Spain, United States and Indonesia.
