" At the back of the book are pasted two poems she wrote, which were published in the local newspaper, the Enniscorthy Echo, and then reprinted in the Dublin newspaper the Irish Press in 1941, with a commentary by one of the editors calling the first of them "lovely" and the second "exquisite". The two poems had been published with her initials only, but it was known in the town that she had written them, and it gave her a sort of fame among her friends." Colm Toibin • Guardian
