Abstract:
This paper seeks to explore that the poetry of Judith Wright is an essence of her dynamic
and radical ecological thinking. The poet shows an inevitable connection between the human and
the natural world in her poetry, and figures out how the natural world is extremely endangered by
man. Wright, an ecopoet even before the term was coined, transforms the Australian poetic
tradition conveying a new and monumental sense of the land and expressing her deepest concern
not only for Australian society but also for the planet. In every phase of her poetic journey, she
foregrounds nature as a major part of her subject, and represents the bitter-sweet relationship
between nature and man. Therefore, this paper attempts to say that Wright’s poetry is an
embodiment of her green writing project. It also focuses that she is a great ecological thinker who
not only represents the relationship between the natural world and human one and vice versa but
also expresses her deep apprehension for protecting nature from the constant destruction.
