… First Known When Lost: For Mary Coleridge.

I find it very comforting to spend time in the company of Mary Coleridge. She is thoughtful, sensitive, sensible, and self-effacing. These are qualities that I admire in any poet -- and in any person.

I first learned of Mary Coleridge from reading First Known When Lost. I have since bought a volume of her poems. She is indeed good company.
