About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Lilt of Life by Zora Cross. Read in English by Cavaet & EliseDee Published in 1918, Zora Cross’s book of poems, The Lilt of Life, was her third book of verse, and, like her earlier works, largely focused on her experiences of love, erotic entanglements (notably from a woman’s point of view), and motherhood. Many of the poems are written as an homage to her then-husband, David McKee Wright, whom she met while writing for The Bulletin, where Wright was her editor, causing a significant scandal in Sydney literary circles. - Summary by Elise Dee
