AUSTRALIANA Poetry -Reprint. xvi, 302 p. ; 23 cm. #291025 Judith Arundell Wright was an Australian poet, environmentalist and campaigner for Aboriginal land rights. She was a recipient of the Christopher Brennan Award and nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964, 1965 and 1967 Judith Wright was an Australian poet, critic and activist.ÂHer work is relevant todayÂbecause of its engagement with environmental and social justice issues. She was a staunch advocate for Aboriginal land rights and a passionate conservationist, themes which are woven throughout her writing.Wright's poetry is characterized by its clarity, precision, and profound connection to the Australian landscape. She belonged to the modernist movement in Australian poetry, which flourished in the mid-20th century. Her style is marked by a rejection of traditional poetic forms and a focus on direct, evocative language. Wright's poetry explores themes of identity, belonging, and the human relationship with nature.Some poets who wrote in a similar style and shared similar concerns include A.D. Hope andÂKenneth Slessor. Wright was also influenced by the work of the poet and critic R.D. FitzGerald, who encouraged her early writing.
