Summary Of Poems 'ANZAC Parade And Lament'
ANZAC Parade (or Distant Fields), written by Rhian Gallagher, and Lament (lament is known for being a sad song or poem) for the Country Soldiers (written by Les Murray) are both similar and diverse. Both poems carry the Australian landscape as a backdrop.
Both poems use words that you can envision in your mind. I like how Gallagher uses contrasting words and repetition. The use of paradox’s in Murray’s poem makes it very remarkable, because naming opposites can make the poem feel sort of ironic. Both poems talk about war and how the soldiers have fallen and survived, even though the consequences were really extreme.
ANZAC Parade is all about a soldier’s parade, standing in colorful uniforms bedecked with victory medals. Then again, the poem
