0/5 ( ratings)

When these poems were first published, some of which had first appeared in the 'Fleet Poetry Broadsheet' in 1944 in Ceylon, a critic wrote that they 'echoed 'through the mind with an almost unbearable melancholy that is agonizingly poised and self aware without undue self-indulgence Anne Bulley movingly stresses the need to seize moments of happiness...'
So let the days spin out
In magic hours and laughter,
That I may hold the thought
Long, long after. {Elizabeth Saxon, Red Candle Press)
...
This verse is taken from a poem that has appeared in the following anthologies: Hands Across the Sea ed John Winton; BBC Woman's Hour 50th Anniversary Poetry Collection edited Pat McLoughlin; Chaos of the Night, edited Catherine Reilly and Shadows of War edited Anne Powell.
