The first ever collection of Dorothy Bonarjee's verse. A detailed and gripping narration of the poet's extraordinary life in India, London, Wales and France. 34th in the Welsh Women's Classics series, an imprint that brings out-of- print books in English by women writers from Wales to a new generation.
Poet Dorothy ''Dorf'' Bonarjee was born in India in 1894 into an elite Bengali family. As a child, she moved to London and in 1912 she enrolled at the University College of Wales at Aberystwyth. Two years later, she was awarded the Bardic chair at the UCW Eisteddfod, and went on to publish poems in Welsh journals. Bonarjee later took a law degree at the University of London and eloped with a French artist. France remained her home for the rest of her life.
