{"product_id":"9780648460862","title":"The Wagtail's Tale: Collected Poems","description":"This collection of poems by Lillian May Egan (Mary Nesbitt; 1928-2002) is the first publication of her poetry composed during the last ten years of her life. During this time, she was a member of Papermates which was part of The Society of Women Writers of Western Australia. They used a 'Round Robin' method of sending members' work to each other by post for critique each month. Some members comments about her work: Clancy sent a letter: 'This is great, Mary, and I like the way you've introduced so many of Banjo's characters. It flows and gallops ... love 'the twist in the tail' - very ironic but very funny at the same time. Congratulations.' - Maude The Copper Miner: 'This is something else. An excellent poem, loaded with imagery and pathos. It has a wonderful rhythm and I love the repetition in the last two lines of each stanza. ' - Chenda Lost: 'I like the theme and images of your poem, especially Jane's \"no longer snowy petticoat\" ... liked the bush details - Quondong \u0026amp; Broombush trees.' - Diane Memories: 'Memories One and Two have a Walter de la Marian feel about them...that sad painting of pictures that are gone.' - Trisha Lord I See You Everywhere: '[This] would make a beautiful hymn! You have painted some lovely pictures of nature and related them to the spiritual theme.' - Chenda Spinning Wheels and Dragons: 'This is beautiful. It is the rhythm in your poetry which attracts me - whether or not it is supposed to be there.' - Gwen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eLillian May Egan, Betty Pyke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eBetty Pyke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eNov 29, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e104 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e064846086X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780648460862\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Betty Pyke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50374237618481,"sku":"9780648460862","price":13.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9780648460862__74747.jpg?v=1732660989","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780648460862","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
