In addition to the poems collected here, readers may seek out individual collections, such as the award-winning Bone Scan from 1988. Harwood's first collection of letters Blessed City: Letters to Thomas Riddell 1943 offers valuable insight into her process and approach as an artist. Other important Australian poets include Bruce Dawe, Aboriginal writer Oodgeroo Noonuccal, and Les Murray, all of whom shared Harwood's interest in nature.
