Poet and prose writer and writing mentor Corinne Eastman Davis (d.1951) of Barre, Vermont, was an early supporter of writing as a member of the Literature Committee of the Vermont Federation of Women's Clubs, strongly backing the founding of the Poetry Society of Vermont. Her published poems had earlier been scattered: student works at Mt. Holyoke College, contest prizes, anthology inclusion in "Green Mountain Verse". This collection comes directly from her notebook, published by her husband Deane C Davis, an attorney, judge, and later 4-yr Governor of Vermont. Her prose writing supported community histories and ongoing organizations (Santa Claus Club, Girl Scout publicity), the Hedding Methodist Church history, "One Hundred Years of Methodism in Barre, Vermont". Her own works in progress had often been put aside for these other projects, and to advise fellow writers.
