Brilliant. I've always though Edna StVM deserves more critical attention! Thank you for this Michael.

Love Edna, admire the nonconformist stand she took, sticking to her idea of beauty when the rest were picking it apart and poo-pooing. That third sonnet is a favourite.

She was a tremendous poet, just wrote what and how she wanted. Thanks for giving her the spotlight.
