Answer:
Hunting Snake is a poem about two people witnessing a wild snake in pursuit of its prey. The event is over in a short time yet their reaction to the snake's presence seems to be profound. Their day is altered, their breath is affected.
This phenomenon, of meeting a snake about its daily business and being in awe, isn't unique to the continent of Australia, where this poem is set.
Think of a snake poem and the name D.H.Lawrence comes to mind. His longer poem Snake, set in Sicily, is a classic. His snake came for a drink of water, Judith Wright's snake is on the hunt. Quite natural actions you might say, followed by extraordinary human reaction.
Both poems, though very different in form, do share this common ground, and there is the suggestion that Lawrence's earlier poem influenced Judith Wright's.
Hunting Snake on first read through appears simple and straightforward. Four stanzas, all quatrains, with regular full rhyme, save for the last stanza. A clear narrative, with a nod to Robert's Frost's sound of sense and rhythm, and relatively easy to understand language.
