Abstract
A fiercer light honours the life and work of one of Australia’s greatest poets, Judith Wright, who was also an Aboriginal land rights activist and environmentalist. This tribute collection of essays provides a new understanding of her life’s work without becoming an academic treatise. Contributors include Patricia Clarke, Oodgeroo, Lorne Johnson, Fiona Capp, Alan Gould, Margaret Bradstock, Kathryn Burns, Louise Wakeling and Peter Skrzynecki. Judith Wright’s essay, “Moongalba” is reprinted. Spanning a writing career of 50 years Judith Wright remains one of this country’s foremost creative writers and social activists of the 20th century.
