"All Souls' Night" 2015




This time we offered The Porter's Daughter The Life of Amy Audrey Locke by Winifred Dawson (self-published by the author, Winchester, England, 2014) to the ghost of William T. Horton. And two glasses of sparkling wine. After reading aloud W.B. Yeats's "All Souls' Night", a silent meditation followed.

Elsa Barker, an inscription


Elsa Barker (1869-1954)



from The Book of Love (1912)

To Algernon Blackwood:
When Florence Purkins 
bought this book of my poems
to be inscribed to you, she
gave me an opportunity
to extend greetings to a fellow
student of QBLH, and to a
very great literary artist.
Yours very sincerely,
Elsa Barker, HASh.


c/o E.P. Dutton & Co,
681, Fifth Avenue, 
New York, July 20, 1922.
