farmlands. Two of our current poets who explicitly portray very different ideas about the environmental circumstances we are living in are: Les Murray, a typical Australian poet who reveals his passionate and unshakable love for the rural landscape of Australia in his poem Spring Hail; and Bruce Dawe, who has written a poem, Search and Destroy that expresses his protest and frustration at our human infested, machinery dominated and polluted environment. When we reflect on Murray’s free-verse…
