Features

This definitive collection represents the impressive poetic achievement of one of Australia's best loved and most highly respected poets. Judith Wright's Collected Poems comprises her work from 1942 to 1985 and is a fitting tribute to an outstanding poet. Demonstrating a deep love of the Australian landscape, coupled with an awareness of white history and an intense concern for Aboriginal rights, she increasingly focused on the need for wildlife preservation and conservation and was one of the first Australian environmentalists.

The late Dorothy Porter referred to Judith Wright's poetry as being so lucid and so perceptive that it was 'shining with meaning'. Whether she is read for her rich evocation of the Australian land, for the truth, sensitivity and profundity of her meditations on the great themes of love, death and eternity, or for the beauty of her lyric style, Judith Wright is always supremely rewarding.

Written by Judith Wright.

Judith Wright (1915-2000) was born in Armidale, New South Wales, into a prominent New England pastoral family. A worker for conservation, Aboriginal land rights and human rights from the early days of these movements, she gave expression to these concerns over a lifetime of literary activity.
