Q-

Very true! I find much of her nautical poetry addictive, and like other musicians, easy to adapt for singing.

Here's a link to the Oldpoetry website where I and Jim Saville have posted over 500 of her poems: Click here for website!

However, one word of caution, her early poetry books, published before she resided in British Columbia, are filled with very patriotic and jingoistic poems, characteristic of a young woman who spent too much time in libraries and museums. There are occasional precusors of poems to come, and which I find of interest.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
