Almost a decade ago, Judith Wright gave up writing poetry, concentrating her attention on "questions of what's called 'conservation', and human, especially Aboriginal, rights". Those preoccupations are not new: they have been at the heart to her poetry from the beginning in "The Moving Image" (1946) through to "Phantom Dwelling" (1985). She has also explored other themes: the relations of man and woman, of people and their landscape, of a given language in an alien place - themes that are political, but have a metaphysical dimension, a timeless pertinence.

Wright was the winner of the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry in 1992.
