Importance as a cultural gure in the imaginations and inspirations of canadian women writers (as seen with atwood and webb) Published journals from when she was in brazil. Published rst poem in 1936 published in the london observer titled the moth . Socialist poetry written in dense, stylistic style so she wouldn"t appear sentimental about her subjects. But rather wanted to build dense layers of metaphor to create sympathy. This became dif cult to sustain, resulting in her 10 years of silence. Went to london, england at 18 and encountered works of virginia woolf inspiration. It was such a relief to me to nd that people wrote that way and seemed to me that woolf opened up a whole new world that was magical to me .
