Marjorie Muirs vivid poems seem antithetical to the work she did in the world, displaying the wonder of layers we all possess. Although I must confess, your poem is my favorite of the bunch!
Cheers Kim - much appreciated. Yeah, I can see what you mean. For me, I think the poems end up supporting the work, particularly in libraries and education - as savage critiques of the world around her. :-)
Ooo, I confess I rather like her darkness!
Yeah they have a real abandon to them. I really dig it too.
uh, new female poet on my radar…thank you so much 🩷 I loved the poems you shared and I can't wait to discover more of her work 😎
A pleasure Nicole! :-) She has only two other poems that I know of, one published in The Craftsman in 1916, and one in the 1918 Pagan Anthology: https://archive.org/details/apagananth00pagarich/page/n65/mode/2up?q=%22marjorie+muir%22 Hope that helps! If you find anything else please let me know.
Oh, what a pity! Sure, I'll let you know if I find anything else by her 😎
Noice 😎

Absolutely!
