In doing this I provide a critical re-appraisal of the work of Harold Stewart, a re-examination of Robert Gray's work, and a substantial study of the poetry 0 f Judith Beveridge. I interrogate the work of these three poets primarily through a ftlter of key Buddhist concepts, and apply these ideas to the formal, conceptual and rhetorical planks of these poets' work. I am interested in how these poets' engagements with Buddhism affect their deployment of form, image and perceptual matters, and how much of the Buddhism in their work is implicit, at the level of sensibility, aesthetic and ethics, rather than directly discussed. I am particularly interested in demonstrating a correspondence between the writers' various engagements with Buddhism and their handling of formal considerations, an area that otherwise seems to have lillie to do with ''Buddhist'' ideas. It is my argument that while Buddhist terminology and ideas clearly denote an "interest" in those ideas, far more useful conclusions can be drawn from examining a poet's integration of those ideas at the level of form and image, where they cannot be used so overtly. I am concerned with how these Buddhist interests become literary engagements, rather than simply fill poems with subject matter. The use of key Buddhist notions like no-self, interdependence, emptiness and impermanence, coupled with a cultivation of non-attachment in tone and perspective, is evidence of a genuinely integrated sensibility, where the religious interests and practices clearly feed into the practice of writing. It is this integration of aesthetic practice and religious practice that is the fundamental concern of this thesis. If Gray and Beveridge both embody Buddhist ideas in their choice and deployment of imagery, only Beveridge seems to consistently use these Buddhist doctrinal notions as formal, structuring devices. In fact her writing at times seems an extension rather than a reflection of a Buddhist practice. Greg McLaren 2 Acknowledgements My greatest thanks go to Dr Noel Rowe, who has taught me so much, and encouraged my initial interest in pursuillg this topic. I am very grateful for his calmness, his sharp eye, constant good humour and his friendship. Noel has been a most remarkable and inspiring supervisor. I want to thank some of my other teachers at the University of Sydney for their ongoing encouragement and support: Dr Beverly Sherry, Professor Elizabeth Webby, Dr David Brooks, Dr Simon Petch, Associate Professor Tony Miller, Dr Bernadette Brennan and Dr Michael Brennan. I must acknowledge my friends for their love, support and constant encouragement, and for being sounding boards: Liz Allen, David Donn, Erin Gough, Michelle Weisz, Ben Webster, Mark Reid, Julieanne Lamond, Uli Krahn and Rebecca Meston for giving me somewhere to stay in Canberra to research the Harold Stewart material. This thesis would not appear in this form without my proof-readers who gave up their weekends and sanity: Uli Krahn, Julieanne Lamond, Michelle Weisz. Thanks are due also to the staff in the manuscript room of the National Library of Australia for their assistance in my research of Harold Stewart's manuscripts and papers. My gratitude also to the staff of Fisher Library at the University of Sydney. This thesis is dedicated to Andrea Dansie for her love, constant encouragement and her refined sense of irony. 3 Greg McLaren Abbreviations for texts used: Judith Beveridge: The Domesticity of Giraffes: DG Accidental Grace: A G Wolf Notes: WN Max Dunn: Leaves ofJade: Poems from the Dragon Land: LJ No Asterisks: NA Random Elements: RE Time of Arrivaf.

Prebish's excellent work, Historical Dictionary of Buddhism'. Where I do use other definitions, it is because they add a nuance or variation on the term's use or meaning significant in the contexts I use, and that Prebish does not emphasise. Compassion/loving kindness/ (Metta): Christmas Humphreys defines metta as 3 "Love, active good will,,2, and is close to koruna, compassion • The metta bhavana is a meditation practice "in which the force oflove is radiated to all beings"'. Conditionality/Dependent co-origination/ (Pratitya-samutpada): Prebish argues that conditionality "establishes that nothing in the world happens by accident, as it were, but rather that all occurrences are causally conditioned,,5. lie argues that this doctrine "undermines the potential substantial nature of any compounded identity',6 and that it "underscores precisely what it means by the notion of emptiness (sUnyata), that no composite entity can have any ontological status of its own, that all entities lack own- being (svabhava)"'. In his translation of the Vimalikirti Nirdesa, Robert Thurman provides this defmition: "that nothing exists independent of relation with something else; therefore there is no absolute, permanent, independent self-substantial thing - only things that exist conditionally, dependent on their verbal and intellectual designations''''. , Charles S. Prebish. Historical Dictionary of Buddhism, Scarecrow Press, Metuchen (New Jersey), 1993 2 Christmas Humphreys, A Popular Dictionary of Buddhism, NTC Publishing, Chicago, 1984, p.127 3 Humphreys, p.127 4 Humphreys, p.127 5 Prebish, p.217 6 Prebish, p.217 'Prebish, p.217 8 Robert A. F. Thurman, trans!., The HolY Teaching ofVimalakirti: A Mahayana Scripture, Motilal Banarsidass, Delhi, 1991, p.163 Greg McLaren 5 This is a very useful expansion on Prebish's explication in that it shows clearly the close relation - in fact, inter-relation - between conditionality, siinyata, and no-self and impermanence. These notions all relate to the same phenomenon of existence that Buddhism observes, merely from different perspectives.

  • The Haunted Landscapes of James Mcauley
    Writing from the Periphery: the haunted landscapes of James McAuley JEAN PAGE University of Lisbon In a comparative approach, this paper addresses the influence of important precursors on James McAuley’s early poetry, its forms, themes and motifs, notably in the early work, what might be described as ‘landscape’ poems, and especially how translation functioned in his apprenticeship. The second part of the paper examines McAuley’s successful return to the lyric landscape in the last decade of his life, and his apparent journey through a new phase of influences, dedications and appropriations. The term ‘landscape’ I do not use as a technical term, but rather as a word which best fits the poems I wish to describe which have, generally, a pictorial quality of images organised in a recognisable setting, a scene perhaps, often taken from nature and often adjacent to a more human-built environment, often featuring human figures or at least the gaze of a human onlooker, as well as that of the ‘reader’ onlooker. While Chris Wallace–Crabbe and David Bradley have commented on McAuley’s early landscape poems, including the concept of interior landscape, and there has been considerable comment on his later landscape poems influenced by Georg Trakl (notably by Gary Catalano, Carmel Gaffney, Peter Kirkpatrick, Igor Maver and Vivian Smith), this paper draws a link between the early and the later landscape poems. In addition, it further develops the recognition by Lyn McCredden and Noel Macainsh of the importance of translation in McAuley’s work. The Early Landscape Poems Between 1936 and 1938, the young aspiring poet James McAuley, then writing under the initials ‘JMc’, wrote what has become one of his most anthologised poems, ‘Envoi’, a poem of four quatrains of alternating rhyme (Collected Poems, 6).

  • 47 Strategies for a Cross-Cultural Ecofeminist Literary Criticism Greta
    Author: Gaard, Greta Title: Strategies for a Cross-Cultural Ecofeminist Literary Criticism Strategies for a Cross-Cultural Ecofeminist Literary Criticism Greta Gaard University of Wisconsin-River Falls Interdisciplinarity, multiculturalism, internationalism—according to Cheryll Glotfelty, these are crucial areas for ecocriticism’s continued development. Drawing on fifty years of interdisciplinary work in Women’s Studies, ecofeminist literary critics with a history of work in multiculturalism would seem well poised to offer bridging strategies toward an international ecocriticism. Are there insights we can draw from the analyses of multicultural feminisms within the United States to guide the development of ecofeminist literary criticisms cross-culturally? What features of this ecocriticism will need to change? For if both feminism and ecocriticism are grounded in specific material, cultural, and economic relations to place and history, then ecofeminist literary criticism cannot be expected to remain the same from one set of eco-social relations to the next. Like much of ecocriticism, ecofeminist literary criticism is grounded in activism, and committed to using literary criticism as a strategy for ecodefense. In the west, ecofeminism is an environmental theory and practice that developed in the 1980s through antinuclear peace protests at Greenham Common in England, as well as at Seneca Falls and at the Vol. 1 Vol. Women’s Pentagon Actions; it has roots in feminist vegetarianism through Feminists for Animal Rights, antiracist feminism through the Woman Earth Feminist Peace Institute, No. 1 feminist earth-based spiritualities and feminist political engagements as well as through the international Green movement. After nearly two decades of activist and theorized engagements, ecofeminist literary criticism took root in U.S., Australian, and European ecocriticism, reaching ecocritics in Japan, China, and Taiwan in the past decade.

  • Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity
    Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity by Janine Gibson BA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of (Doctor of Philosophy) Deakin University December, 2016 Acknowledgments I am indebted to the School of Communication and Creative Arts at Deakin University (Geelong), especially to my principal supervisor Professor David McCooey whose enthusiasm, constructive criticism and encouragement has given me immeasurable support. I would like to gratefully acknowledge my associate supervisors Dr. Maria Takolander and Dr. Ann Vickery for their interest and invaluable input in the early stages of my thesis. The unfailing help of the Library staff in searching out texts, however obscure, as well as the support from Matt Freeman and his helpful staff in the IT Resources Department is very much appreciated. Sincere thanks to the Senior HDR Advisor Robyn Ficnerski for always being there when I needed support and reassurance; and to Ruth Leigh, Kate Hall, Jo Langdon, Janine Little, Murray Noonan and Liam Monagle for their help, kindness and for being so interested in my project. This thesis is possible due to my family, to my sons Luke and Ben for knowing that I could do this, and telling me often, and for Jane and Aleisha for caring so much. Finally, to my partner Jeff, the ‘thesis watcher’, who gave me support every day in more ways than I can count. Abstract With a long, illustrious history from the early Greek pastoral poetry of Theocritus, the elegy remains a prestigious, flexible Western poetic genre: a key space for negotiating individual, communal and national anxieties through memorialization of the dead.

  • An Introduction to the Life and Work of Amy Witting
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship... 'GOLD OUT OF STRAW': AN INTRODUCTION TO THE LIFE AND WORK OF AMY WITTING Yvo nne Miels - Flin ders University It is rather unusual for anyone to be in their early seventies before being recognised as a writer of merit. In this respect Amy Wining must surely be unique amongst Australian writers. Although she has been writing all her life, she was 71 when her powerful novel I for Isabel was published, in late 1989. This novel attracted considerable critical attention, and since then most of the backlog of stories and poetry written over a lifetime have been published. The 1993 Patrick White Award followed and she became known to a wider readership. The quality and sophistication of her work, first observed over fifty years ago, has now been generally acknowledged. Whilst Witting has been known to members of the literary community in New South Wales for many years, her life and work have generally been something of a literary mystery. Like her fictional character Fitzallan, the ·undiscovered poet' in her first novel Th e Visit ( 1977). her early publications were few, and scattered in Australian literary journals and short-story collections such as Coast to Coast. While Fitzallan's poetry was 'discovered' forty years after his death, Witting's poetry has been discovered and published, but curiously, it is absent from anthologies. For me, the 'mystery' of Amy Witting deepened when the cataloguing­ in-publication details in a rare hard-back copy of Th e Visit revealed the author as being one Joan Levick.

  • Personal Stories ... Responses to Shin Buddhism
    Personal Stories ... Responses to Shin Buddhism D.C., Missouri I have lived my entire life in the St. Louis area. My education includes a B.A. from Southern Illinois University in Government, History & Sociology and an M.A. from Webster University in Business Administration. I have worked since 1967 as an accountant, currently serving as Treasurer of a small manufacturing company in St. Louis. Our companies claim to fame is that our co-founder was T.S. Eliot's father. Although I have earned my living for thirty plus years as an accountant, my interest has always been in the area of comparative religion/sociology of religion. At age 40 I met and married a research nurse who is currently working with the department of Geriatrics for St Louis University Medical School. In 1986 after two years of marriage we became foster parents with the hope of eventually adopting. Finally in 1990, we were able to adopt three brothers-the three youngest of a sibling group of seven. The boys are now 12, 10 and 8. I was raised in a Southern Baptist church which I rejected in my early teens and have been searching since then for a satisfactory outlet for my religious impulses. I was always uncomfortable with the ideas of eternal punishment for people who did not belong to the right religion, with the idea that Jesus was God (in a unique way), with the idea of the inerrancy of the King James version of the bible, and the idea that all religions other than evangelical Protestant Christianity were totally wrong.

  • Breathing in Art, Breathing out Poetry: Contemporary Australian Art and Artists As a Source of Inspiration for a Collection of Ekphrastic Poems
    Breathing in art, breathing out poetry: Contemporary Australian art and artists as a source of inspiration for a collection of ekphrastic poems. Erin Shiel A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2016 Abstract: During the course of this Master of Arts (Research) program, I have written The Spirits of Birds, a collection of thirty-five ekphrastic poems relating to contemporary Australian art. The exegesis relating to this poetry collection is the result of my research and reflection on the process of writing these poems. At the outset, my writing responded to artworks viewed in galleries, in books and online. Following the initial writing period, I approached a number of artists and asked if I could interview them about their sources of inspiration and creative processes. Six artists agreed to be interviewed. The transcripts of these interviews were used in the writing of further poetry. The interviews also provided an insight into the creative processes of artists and how this might relate to the writing of poetry. The exegesis explores this process of writing. It also examines the nature of ekphrasis, how this has changed historically and the type of ekphrastic poetry I have written in the poetry collection. In analysing the poems and how they related to the artworks and artists, I found there were four ways in which I was responding to the artworks: connecting to a symbolic device in the artwork, exploring the inspiration or creative process of the artist, drawing out a life experience or imagined narrative through the artwork and echoing the visual appearance of the artwork in the form of the poem.
