Defining Culture: Australia
This event has passed
Mar 16
Les Murray is sometimes called the outstanding Australian poet of his generation. Notorious for his individualism and resistance to ideologies, he sees his writing as helping to define, in cultural and spiritual terms, what it means to be Australian. The influences and oppositions often seen in Murray's work - love of the land, tensions between rural and urban life and the struggle for more exact expression - are forces that have also shaped modern Australian culture. In conversation with Karen Koh. Part of the Man Hong Kong Literary Festival
