Separated from her husband of seven years, her prolific output helped support her five children. While attending Radcliffe College, her poetry will be chosen by W. H. Auden for publication in the the Yale Younger Poets series. Sure on this shining night Of starmade shadows round, Kindness must watch for me This side the ground. The late year lies down the north. All is healed, all is health.
High summer holds the earth.
Hearts all whole. Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder wand'ring far alone Of shadows on the stars.
