The poetry of Judith Wright

That every poem relates implicitly to a particular dramatic situation is a comment able to be accurately applied to the poetry of well-known Australian poet, Judith Wright. Whilst Wright's poetry covers many different themes relating to Australian society, it is clear that Wright, in many of her poems, makes clear reference to certain events. These are often, however, explored in different forms, be it a stage of life, an intense experience or a critical event. …

…arguable, but less ambiguous is that they relate explicitly. It is clear that the poetry of Judith Wright relates to Australian society: it's actions, its faults and its operations and much of this knowledge and understanding must have come from individual events experienced over her life. But more particularly, events are able to express the real situations faced and therefore act as a very powerful message of the issues a poet is trying to express.
