| WRIGHT, JUDITH. Half A Lifetime. Melbourne: Text Publishing, 2000. Â ¶ In this luminous memoir, Judith Wright takes the reader on an intimate journey into the first half of her life. She tells how her stern forebears became prominent pastoralists in northern New South Wales, and describes with stunning clarity the landscapes she grew up in. She remembers her first encounters with words and the emergence of her consciousness of self: "This is where, as well as I can remember, 'I' began." She movingly describes her mother's death. And she recounts her resolution to escape from this world she loved in order to be free. During the thirties Wright studied at Sydney University and travelled in Europe. In Brisbane during the war she met Jack McKinney, a philosopher who became her lover, the father of her daughter Meredith, and her intellectual companion in her commitment to the environment, and the possibility of leading a just and responsible life. Half a Lifetime includes a number of Wright's best-loved poems and many never before published photographs. Sensuous, honest and intelligent, this is an unforgettable autobiography. Softcover/Paperback. ISBN: 1876485388. Octavo. 296 pages.
