'Atsuko Kouda's remarks on landscape in Australian poetry are particularly interesting because they provide us with an 'outside; view of how the land is perceived by Australian poets. Kouda uses as models Douglas Stewart and Judith Wright. In the first case, Stewart displays a correspondence between himself and the landscape , and a sense of the perfection of creation, in the light of this, the poet can at times 'escape' into a symbolic perfection away from the unpleasant aspects of social life. Kouda concludes that Stewart's poems 'take no further new meanings than we find in the traditional ballads.' (Introduction)
