Vincent Thomas Buckley was one of the earliest poets and critics who visibly created his niche and influential work from his profound understanding of Australian literature icons- Judith Wright, A.D.Hope and James McAuley. He was noted for his first two collections of poems, which he surprisingly hated- The World’s Flesh of 1954 and Masters in Israel of 1961. although his quantum leap was the publication of Arcady and Other Poems in 1966. This collection of poems made a ladder of initial success for Buckley as a poet, which he kept climbing after this collection. His achievement thereafter was not about his publications, but about his content driven and nostalgic themes, his representation of geographical and topographical elements of Australia beautifully woven into his emotions of abandonment, family, politics and nature. This paper attempts to look closely at two of his poems- Burning The Effects and Fellow Travellers. The paper also briefly covers his biography, lifetime work, achievements, literary and familial background as well his poetic and political ambitions.
