This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for August 3, 2025. ------

In her Journal, on January 22, 1916, Katherine Mansfield told her plans as her writer to her dead brother. She wanted to pay “a sacred debt” to her country, New Zealand, because “my brother and I were born there.” “Then,” she continued, “I want to write poetry.” from the INTRODUCTORY NOTE from Poems by Katherine Mansfield (1923)
