A wide selection of Anne's best work.

It encompasses everything from her early verve as she burst upon to the national poetry scene over-night to her tough times in sanitariums.

Some of her work can be dense emotionally wrought passages to light heart observance of common daily life.

There is something in here for everyone.

Anne work is a true treasure, not to be missed.
