SOURCE: "Alive, Fourth Quarter and Phantom Dwelling" in Flame and Shadow: A Study of Judith Wright's Poetry, University of Queensland Press, 1991, pp. 176–205, 210.
In this excerpt, Walker argues that Wright's collections Fourth Quarter and Phantom Dwelling represent a growth in the poet's already estimable talent and vision. Walker contends that in these books Wright brings a variety of new influences and insights to bear on old themes, answering with clarity questions left open by old poems, and finding peace through reconciliation where once she found conflict.
