Publication details: Oxford & Tehran: The Amate Press,1976,
Rare Book
Her final collection, the author then based in Oxford (to which location some of the poems refer); it brings together, and supplements, the two volumes of poetry she published whilst living in South Africa in the 1950s. The verse eschews the raw experimentation of her early poem 'Paris', though remains linguistically playful. Mortimer's introduction refers to the author's friendships with T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, and Jane Ellen Harrison, as well as her earlier works ('mysteriously and deplorably few').
