Description
An invaluable resource for staff and students in literary studies and Australian studies, this volume is the first major critical survey on Australian poetry.
It investigates poetry's central role in engaging with issues of colonialism, nationalism, war and crisis, diaspora, gender and sexuality, and the environment.
Individual chapters examine Aboriginal writing and the archive, poetry and activism, print culture, and practices of internationally renowned poets such as Lionel Fogarty, Gwen Harwood, John Kinsella, Les Murray, and Judith Wright.
The Companion considers Australian leadership in the diversification of poetry in terms of performance, the verse novel, and digital poetries.
It also considers Antipodean engagements with Romanticism and Modernism.
