Dr Sarah Kennedy has a chapter published today in The Cambridge History of Australian Poetry (Cambridge University Press), contributing new insight into the work of the celebrated Australian poet and environmentalist Judith Wright.

This landmark volume edited by Ann Vickery and Philip Mead brings together First Nations experts, internationally recognised scholars, distinguished practitioners, and emerging critical voices to provide an authoritative and comprehensive engagement with Australian poetries. The collection explores poetry’s role in shaping and critiquing cultural imaginaries across local, regional, and global contexts. Topics range from Aboriginal writing, cultural leadership, and children’s poetry to environmental poetics, war and conflict, diasporic movements, performance and digital poetries, and shifting patterns of canon formation.
