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.

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. :-)
