Abstract
![CDATA[It was while I worked at Kunghur that I bought a copy of Judith Wright’s Selected Poems, Five Senses. Now I could experience the full range of her lyrics, the imagery of her New England and Queensland nature poems as well as the intensity of experience behind them. And it was here, in ”For New England” that I read a line of poetry that jarred my nerves instantly: “Where’s home, Ulysses?” Three words, each sharp as a razor, had brought me around to confront myself and the dilemma that I sometimes faced when considering the question of my Polish/Ukrainian background.]]
