Julia Boynton Green — Collected Poems
Julia Boynton Green crossed from Gilded Age New York verse into the gardens, missions, deserts, and shorelines of Southern California, publishing across nearly fifty years. Married to another writer and active in Redlands literary life, she turned regional beauty into poems alert to age, labor, illness, faith, and the cost of enchantment.
Nora May French — Collected Poems
Nora May French blazed through California bohemia, writing fierce, haunting poems of freedom, desire, landscape, and death before her life ended at twenty-six. Published in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and national magazines, her work captures a restless new California—and the struggle of a gifted woman to build an independent artistic life within it.
