- The fate of wild animals is particularly dire in Australia, which is besieged by
drought, by invasions of other species that are rapidly destroying indigenous popu-
lations, and by pioneer attitudes to wildlife in general. Australia, perhaps more than
most other nations, also defines its national identity through its unique fauna, so wild
animals figure in its culture in significant ways. Several of its best known poets, such
as Les Murray and Geoffrey Lehmann, have written many poems about animals, and
John Kinsella is an animal activist as well as a poet, novelist, and critic. - Geoffrey Lehmann, Poems, 1957–2013 (Perth: UWA, 2014), 259–60.
- It is worth noting in this context that several American states have passed so-called
ag-gag laws, making it a crime to film or record animal abuse on farms or
slaughterhouses. - POETRY AS FIELD GUIDE
