The reference is to the list of additional names for inclusion in the Sixpenny Poets.' FOUR: TLS addressed as third; 6 May 1927. He writes that he is including her poems in a series of modern verse. 'The series would have, among others, Gerald Gould, D. H. Lawrence, yourself, possibly Lascelles Abercrombie, possibly Gordon Bottomley, and possibly F. S. Flint. I don't think that is a bad lot. Do you?' FIVE: Typed copy of letter from Victor Gollancz, Ernest Benn Limited Publishers, London; 23 August 1926. He considers 'Sylvia Lynd and Wordsworth's Sonnets' both 'good ones' for including in the list.
