Intertwining of History of the Land and Australian Aboriginal Community in Poetry

Abstract

Poetry has fascinated mankind since time immemorial and nature has always been its major theme. But with the transition of mankind from the lap of nature to a digital age, the plenitude of nature began to be exploited. Massive destruction of the environment began as man started crossing his own territory to be the master of the world. Such seismic changes gave rise to environmentally oriented works which aimed at preventing an apocalypse. Colonization witnessed not only continental imperialism but also ecological imperialism. The paper Intertwining of History of the Land and Australian Aboriginal Community in Poetry aims to analyze the postcolonial changes that took place in Australia and America and how it is represented in poetry.
