Sinopsis

This collection of poems by Lillian May Egan (Mary Nesbitt, 1928-2002) is the first publication of her poetry composed during the last ten years of her life. During this time, she was a member of Papermates which was part of The Society of Women Writers of Western Australia. They used a ',Round Robin', method of sending members', work to each other by post for critique each month.Some members comments about her work:Clancy sent a letter: ',This is great, Mary, and I like the way you',ve introduced so many of Banjo',s characters. It flows and gallops &hellip, love ',the twist in the tail', - very ironic but very funny at the same time. Congratulations.', - MaudeThe Copper Miner: ',This is something else. An excellent poem, loaded with imagery and pathos. It has a wonderful rhythm and I love the repetition in the last two lines of each stanza. ', - ChendaLost: ',I like the theme and images of your poem, especially Jane',s no longer snowy petticoat &hellip, liked the bush details - Quondong & Broombush trees.', - DianeMemories: ',Memories One and Two have a Walter de la Marian feel about them&hellip,that sad painting of pictures that are gone.', - TrishaLord I See You Everywhere: ',[This] would make a beautiful hymn! You have painted some lovely pictures of nature and related them to the spiritual theme.', - ChendaSpinning Wheels and Dragons: ',This is beautiful. It is the rhythm in your poetry which attracts me - whether or not it is supposed to be there.', - Gwen
