Collected Poems 1942 to 1985 by Judith Wright

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

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, becoming one of the first prominent Australian environmentalists.

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 the beauty of her lyric style, Judith Wright is always supremely rewarding. (Trove)
