AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Judith Wright, the great Australian poet, writer, environmentalist and activist for Aboriginal rights, was a prolific letter writer throughout her long life. Judith's first surviving letter, written as a girl of 10, is already vibrant with both the pleasure in language and the intense responsiveness to the natural world that formed the core of her being and dictated the directions of her life. The collection of letters presented in With Love and Fury serves to remind us of Judith's deep engagement with life, and of her love of the world (and of friends) and the fine fury that lead her to battle so courageously on the world's behalf - those sides of the single passion that shaped both her poetry and her life.

Orpheus in the New World : Poetry and Landscape in Australia and Chile Stuart Cooke , 2010 single work criticism
— Appears in: Antipodes , December vol. 24 no. 2 2010; (p. 143-150) 'Australia and Chile both constitute large and extremely diverse environments, with ecosystems ranging from some of the driest to some of the wettest in the world. They are also relatively isolated: Australia is, of course, an island, while Chile is bordered by dramatic mountain ranges and coastlines. Nevertheless, their common geological heritage means that they share a surprising number of species of flora. They also share histories of colonization by European powers. This essay will involve a discussion of four poets and their relationships to these two colonized landscapes: Butcher Joe Nangan and Judith Wright from Australia, and Pablo Neruda and Paulo Huirimilla from Chile. What brings these poets together into this discussion is how their work raises questions about the relationship between poetry and colonized ecologies... '(Author's abstract p. 143)
