Mrrzy, I'm afraid I don't know the answers to your questions. As of Sunday, I didn't even know she had been a poet. I'll be embarking on a "voyage of discovery." Unfortunately, not a lot is known of her early life; not even her parents' first names. I do have some clues that will help me with some research. Anybody with experience in geneological research is invited to send me a personal message so I can pick your brains. I'll also be quizzing my mother for any drops of info she has. I know she has other poems that she will send me, as well as letters from the period that my grandparents lived in Australia, right after they were married in the 1920s. I'm so looking forward to reading them.
